Yeah, I am sure he is really afraid.
Guest Jan-2-03 11:46	Jeffery, Wow you are pretty tough you want to threaten somebody with jail, and might I add FOR WHAT, because he is talking crap about your company, welcome to the wonderfull world of being publicly traded doesnt matter if he is a x-employee or not about the most you could do is sue him, and its pretty hard to sue someone for slander/defamation when they are speaking the truth. It's a lawsuit that you will never win. and will never go to jail for posting on this message board, so why do you crawl back to the hole in incline village you and the rest of your dot1web lackies are hiding!

Its a shame
Concerned party Jan-2-03 14:23	...All this could have been avoided if Bob DeMaio did the right thing. Its even sadder when they start threatening their ex-employees. Is this a company that you want to give your money to? Would you what your company name associated with them? A company that doesn't pay and then makes threats to their ex-employees! I don't know about you folks but I would cancel your accounts and get your money back befor they go out of business, and your left out in the cold just like their employees. P.S Read these articles.

If They Show No Accountability, Make Them Accounta
Guest Jan-2-03 16:50	If anyone has received a payroll check and/or reimbursement check from a company that had insufficient funds in their account, I suggest that they go to the Sherrif's Dept. and report this. It is also wise to write a complaint to the District Attorney. Writing Bad Checks (especially habitual), over $250.00 is a felony and punishble by law. It is important that if this has happened to you, you report it, sounds like this has gone on a long time, and it won't stop unless VICTOMS speak out. I was curious what type of threats have been made to ex employees as well. This is also an act that may hold some sort of liability to this company and it's officers. You can also call the Washoe County, Carson City, Douglas County, and Eldorado County Recorders office, to find public documents on person(s) and/or companies(You may also find them on the internet) . As well as http://www.washoecountycourts.com./ When looking up information on a company remember to look up any name that they have used in the past as well. Or any company they may have had in the past. I completed a simple search on Lowestbids.com, Inc., as well as Drive4u.com, Inc. and found numerous judgements and lawsuits including a tax lien from the IRS. This is all public information, although many may not have been privy to this until now. Hope this helps.

WebWide Sleaze Dot Com
Skiggy Jan-1-03 11:03	Webwide ISP is just the latest iteration of dot bomb sleaze from Northern Nevada. This is not about a few disgruntled employees who were canned shortly before Christmas. This is about a company that has routinely bounced checks to employees, to suppliers, and even to the lawyers defending his sorry ass. This is about a man who fired his CFO who dared suggest that it was wrong to issue bum checks. This is about a man who contracted to buy an office building, defaulted on the down payment, and "extended" the purchase contract by paying monthly rent, and was ultimately evicted because he couldn't make the monthly rent. This is a about a man who hired a staff to do nothing but mostly sit around and look pretty for months so he could feel important (and for his sexual stimulation). This is about a man who, in three years, has less than $21,000 in sales, but has lost $4 million in investor funds doing what? Developing a half-assed auction website and ISP that anyone with an HTML reference book and some kiddie script could put together and run from a two-car garage. This is about a man who lies for his living, who has received cease and desist letters from various jurisdictions to halt illegal trading of unregistered stock through his merry band of gullible midwest "network marketing" sheople. This is about a man who has already filed for bankruptcy twice. After the last bankruptcy, this guy has stiffed dozens of suppliers for millions of dollars. A few have gone after him and obtained judgments which, for reasons known only to DeMaio, are never listed in the financial statements. This is about a man who thinks it is OK to take investor funds to buy a $230,000 car, live in a 6700 foot mansion near the beach of Lake Tahoe, and wine and dine girlfriends while his wife and children stay home and employees go without paychecks. Yeah. This is a great man and a great company. I would not hesitate to prepay this guy for a full year of Internet access. Go to it folks. You all deserve to be scammed once in your life.

WEBWIDE ISP ISA ALIVE AND KICKING
Webwide ISP Dec-30-02 21:57	I am here to tell all that Webwide ISP is as good as ever and the lowest price of major ISP's for unlimited access. We have downsized our staff as we move towards profitability. Estimated to be in first quarter of 2003. As with any downsizing, you will have some disgruntled employees. We still offer 24 hour live instant help. If you have any questions or concerns feel free to email us at info@lowestbidscorp.com. Thanks to all of you who enjoy our ISP service.

Alive And Kicking? I THINK NOT
Guest Dec-31-02 19:45	According to this article i would be cautious as hell!! http://www.tahoebonanza.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?Site=TB&Date=20021227&Category=NEWS&ArtNo=212270101&Ref=AR OH AND BTW IF YOU ARE ALIVE AND KICKING HOW COME YOU WERE EVICTED FROM YOUR BUILDING?

CAUTION!!!!
sim50 Dec-31-02 15:58	Be careful people. I'm not or have never been a disgruntled employee of Webwide IS, just someone looking for a reasonably priced ISP. After looking over the signup page, I had questions, so clicked on WWISP's Technical Help link. I posted my questions and waited patiently for their "Live Instant Help," but never got a response, so either they were asleep or Live Instant Help was downsized to 0. Then I e-mailed them twice using the above link, and both were returned with the message that WW is an unkown user. Something is definitely wrong here, so just a word of caution.

This ISP
Serop Dec-24-02 10:39	Webwide ISP is the best ISP that I have seen for a long time. Its fast connection, friendly and fast online tech support and user friendly interface, makes this one of the most desireable ISP's. Add to it the $6.25 /month and you have, unmatching quality. New people you should try this and you will not be sorry. Thank you folks at Webwide and on for more achievements.

Webwide Isp
jjdan Dec-24-02 18:59	I just downloaded their free Webbar. It is great. Realtime bidding in auctions as well as a organizer that works wireless. This is a great tool. I think it really compliments their ISP

Dot1gone Jan-1-03 16:05	"It is great. Realtime bidding in auctions as well as a organizer that works wireless." Take a look at all the auctions on there <a href="http://www.lowestbids.com">site</a> they are all fake auctions. All of the auctions on their site are just $1 dollar below the sellers asking price. The Dot1web bar is s cheezey program that only works with IE5.5 or higher, and does not work with an wireless devices! This whole company is a fraud all you have to do is scratch just alittle below the surface to find out.

WEBWIDE ISP IS GREAT
RENTALBEAN Dec-10-02 13:03	I've been using Webwide ISP for about 5 months now. I have never had any major problems. Twice one of my local access numbers was down but I have 6 to choose from. No problem. I still cant beleive that there are people out there paying 20 some odd bucks a month for dial up access. Either they haven't done their homework, or they're just plain stupid. I used to have NetZero's 9.95 a month access. It was a joke. They sent me a letter after 2 months stating that the cost of telecommunications in my area was too expensive and they would have to cancel my account. They suck! United Online customers are paying too much. 9.95 for a banner at the bottom of your screen and a stupid TV that you have to stare at when dialing in... I don't think so. I'll take 6.95 a month for unlimited access.

Web Wide ISP rocks
Phil Quagliariello Dec-7-02 12:18	WW ISP is great. I signed up and within 5 minutes I was online. Great Real time customer service online. After terrible experience with Talent Group (don't sign up!!), WWISP is refreshing, and for $6.95 a month you can't beat it.

tech support asleep!
sim50 Dec-31-02 15:38	I have been cruising for a new ISP, so went to WWISP's signup page. Since I had questions not anwered there, like, what kind of speeds can I expect with my V.92? is tech support available by phone?, and, etc., and even though I waited a lengthy time, I never received a response. Live Instant Help? I think not. They must have been asleep! I have always had immediate help by phone with any ISP I've had, so what do people do when they need help with WWISP? If they normally answer promptly, what does one do when there are connectivity issues? I sent an e-mail to the address posted on this site to ask my questions, but it was returned with the message that the user was unknown. With this many problems all ready, I can't wait to sign up to experience the difficulties I would have then! You get what you pay for, comes to mind.

WEB ISP
AC Oct-12-02 18:40	We are currently using the WEB ISP service it's a part of the dot1web company. The first month was reduced to 5.95 for new members when we joined, don't know if it is still that price now though. I had some trouble getting online at first. The customer service was so amazing though. I wasn't even mad about the small problems getting set up- it was not even an issue to me in the end. They gave me a toll free number, I talked to the reps a couple of times and both times they answered on the first ring. I had never gotten good service from the high priced ISP's I had in the past so this was a shock....In the end what it boiled down to was my DUN from good old oh so predictable Microsoft (can you tell I like windows-not) speaks a different language that the DUN WEB ISP developed to connect to their network. No biggie, small file to download and away I went cruising the internet. I also like their DUN tool because if a new number comes available to dial up to I can click a button and keep up to date on them. I have yet to not get online with the first attempt. Connections are excellent where I have just built my house I am impressed....I figured the distance from the CO and likely bridge taps to get out in my neck of the woods would be a connection nightmare. Not the case. I guess both are better than one would expect to get such reliable connections. I would recommend.

No DUN - Webwideisp software mandatory
Guest8z8 Aug-30-02 12:17	30 August 02 FYI: Emailed customer service at CSR@lowestbidscorp.com (Lowestbids is parent company) Asked if their software was mandatory. Their reply, "Our software is a mandatory requirement." According to their FAQ, their software is 60mgs by download or disk.

Conflicting Infomation Regarding Software
Boz Sep-3-02 09:44	Based on this "Live Instant Help" conversation of 26 Aug 2002, the software is NOT required: Kevin_CSR: hello boz... Kevin_CSR: welcome to the .1web network Boz: Hi. If I sign up for your service, do I have to use the software, or can I set up the connection manually? Kevin_CSR: i think a few people have just used connection wizard to connect ot our service... Kevin_CSR: but we will only support our software Kevin_CSR: so i you can do both... Boz: Okay, I just wanted to make sure that it was acceptable to NOT use the software, understanding the support is limited to the software. Boz: Thank you. Kevin_CSR: okay I guess before anyone signs up, this information needs to be reverified!
