Re: Dialup internet, the forgotten price rise
 

I think it was if it wasn't accessed via dialup at least once every 60 days it would be cancelled.

It's in the T&C of the dialup right now if I remember correctly but isn't currently enforced.

Re: Dialup internet, the forgotten price rise
 

It had better be the "e-mail being used" that is checked.

My NTL e-mail is linked to a PAYG account. I started my "NTL life" on the free dial-up service and then moved onto BB. When the free dial-up stopped I was advised to convert it to a PAYG account in order to retain my e-mail address(es). I have never dialled into it.

Hi Pem,
I'm in the Nottingham office if you want I can move your dialup e-mail address over to your b/band account if you have any concerns and don't use the dialup account? :angel:

Re: Dialup internet, the forgotten price rise
 

Sounds good to me - Thanks - PM me what details you need. :)

Re: Dialup internet, the forgotten price rise
 

I've just checked and currently the T&C state.

Accounts will be terminated automatically if not accessed through the designated dialup number for a continuous period of 6 months.

If you want to switch dialup E-Mail accounts to broadband you can call tech support who will be able to do this for you.

Re: Dialup internet, the forgotten price rise
 

Brilliant, a change they haven't bothered to tell us about. When ntl abandoned the free dial-up service they specifically encouraged people who had gone on to Broadband to sign up for the pay-as-you-go dialup service to use as a back-up and in order to retain their email addresses. I still get incoming mail to the two addys I set up in my dial-up days. I have never used any of the mailbox allocation I received when switching to Broadband. Am I now to understand that those two mailboxes are liable to be deleted at any time, because I have never needed to dial up since going BB? :Yikes:

Re: Dialup internet, the forgotten price rise
 

Well if the accounts are deleted you can move the e-mail addresses over to your broadband account by calling tech support.

Re: Dialup internet, the forgotten price rise
 

Yeah but I want to keep my email addresses when I'm not with NTl because I'm a lazy sod & dont want to be bothered with going through my address book & mailing change of addresses... :D

:pp You want to rely on ntlworld email? :shocked: ;):pp

Debsy pm'd me last night about this saying she would check on this today.I'm assuming she is still at work. :)

Incog.

Re: Dialup internet, the forgotten price rise
 

LoL Increase the speed of dialup... :dunce:

Re: Dialup internet, the forgotten price rise
 

LOL :) they may not be able to increase the speed but it would be nice if they upped the cutoff limit to 4hrs or higher.

Re: Dialup internet, the forgotten price rise
 

Yes but it would be increased for free :D

Re: Dialup internet, the forgotten price rise
 

Anyone seen Debsy today?

Incog.

Re: Dialup internet, the forgotten price rise
 

My dialup and BB Emails are very close, and to be honest, I've forgetten which was which.

I was being sarky about the speed increase, but if they put V92 on, it might increase throughput ... V92's compression iis apparently better than V90 - or you could go for scamware like OnSpeed - crucify the image quality for a bit of extra speed.
