www.webwideisp.com works great |
 |
|
Just wanted to take a minute to
thank eveyones comments on this site, so I figured I would write my
own. I used this site to aid in making my decision to switch to a
real ISP and dump AOL. After all my research I chose http://www.webwideisp.com/ and found it to be
fine. My requirements were:
No time limits
Cheap
Good
customer service
Easy setup
No setup fees
Lots of
numbers to choose from
Webspace
They have all of this and it
even works when I dial up. Just thought I would share this for all
of you who are where I was 2 months ago.  | |

webspace do you get with an account? The last time I looked, I
couldn't find that info on their
website.

Used their online support chat
function the other day. I learned:
They use the AOL network
of call-in numbers
Only email is webmail, no pop3. Didn't
think to ask whether there is an smtp server, but with no pop3 it
seems unlikely. | |

I don't think the access numbers listed for my
area are the same as AOL. There are only UUNet numbers for my
area.

I just signed up with Webwideisp
yesterday. They have very good customer service; I called after
noticing no DUN instructions (the signup page encourages you to use
their dialer, which is 66mb, so they ask you to send for the CD if
you have dialup). It was after midnight, I did get an answer on
their help line, and he said they do not recommend you DUN them, but
said I could. With Win98, just use your username (full email
address) and password, that's all. They even gave me a followup call
today on my satisfaction with their service. If you're in a fairly
rural area, chances are you can forget accruing "Webdollars" from
local merchants to apply to your account. But at $5.95 the first
month and $6.95 afterward for a UU connection, why bother? 
The jury's still out on this one, it's not nearly
as fast as Walmartconnect, but the idiotware browser for Walmart
hurts its performance anyway. | |

The events of the past few years
have certainly diminished our ability to trust Corporations. Did
anybody see Dot1Web’s
CEO, Bob Demaio in the paper recently? Was anyone suckered in by
those claims of assets and valuation? Christ, even former Enron CEO,
Kenneth Lay was at home screaming "bull$%@#!"
Over the past
year, our confidence in the basic institutions of society has
suffered blow after blow. The dotcom collapse taught us we can't
trust the stock market. Dot1Web taught us we can't
trust the regulators who are supposed to supervise it.
The
one I really want to see in the hot seat is Bob Demaio, the guy who
apparently pulled all those financial deals, with Freedom
Motorcycles, that read like Chinese pig Latin. Forget the judicial
system, I want to see this guy worked over by a gauntlet of laid-off
Dot1Web employees armed
with barbed clubs and junior high anatomy manuals. Demaio should be
walking like the guy in the Levis Super Bowl commercial.
Magical commodity that is difficult to earn and easy to
lose, and a healthy skepticism will always be needed to help you
avoid getting conned, because people like Demaio will always produce
more crap than a herd of Holsteins grazing in a prune field. I
believe it is not enough to point fingers, we must learn from Mr.
Demaio as well.
With Dot1web execs hiding losses
like they were frozen Three Musketeer bars in Anna Nicole Smith's
house, to their CFO shredding paper like Captain Hook rolling a
joint, Nevadans are finally putting Demaio under the microscope and
they still can't see their investments. Hey, if you were pulling in
ten figures a year, and you started to see your dynasty crumble like
a Ritz cracker in Jiminy Glick's back pocket, wouldn't you cook the
books at 451 degrees Fahrenheit, but you really don’t even have to
cook the books anymore, you just have to simmer them, because in the
present-day looking glass, Dot1web’s accounting practices
read, “Red is the new black”.
Throughout the 80's and 90's,
CEO's were treated like rock stars. Unfortunately, we've now reached
the point on Behind The Music where the ominous voice says, "But
just then, Dot1Web CEO,
Bob Demaio, decided they needed to go out for more beer..."
I don't want to see Mr. Demaio going to jail for three years
a minimum-security prison that doubles as a Country Club during the
day. I want Demaio and his clan to witness the damage that they
caused up close. I think they should be sentenced to community
service sorting the shoe bin at the local Salvation Army in a
low-income neighborhood to get a sense of how real people have to
get by. Make Mr. Demaio work the drive-thru at Jack In The Box so I
can literally hear that lying bastard's voice coming out of a
clown's mouth. Just don't drive away without checking that you got
everything you ordered because you will probably get screwed in the
drive through.
What I'd actually like to see is these guys
do hard time in hard prison. See how they like it when we let the
warden get creative with the books keeping their sentences. You want
to make sure this doesn't happen again, put these losers in with the
general population who are doing 10-20 for stealing a scintilla of
what these guys did. Then make sure there is a live "Big Brother"
shower-cam feed into every CEO's office in the country. Executives
are going to think twice about cheating the numbers as well as your
employees and investors, when they spot their CFO all lathered up
with a windchime hangin' from his rear end.
That’s just the
way I see it. | |

company |

Anyone thinking about signing up
for WebWideSIP should read this first.
http://www.freedomlist.com/forum/comment.php?plan=987&action=read
My advice would be simple don't sign up and if you know anyone
that uses this ISP tell them they should cancel their account and
ask for their moneyback.[/url] | |

You
have more than made your
point about Dot1web. The
reason your posts were removed from the Webwideisp review section
was because it was out of hand and we were receiving complaints from
people trying to find out about the ISP service. That section of
Freedomlist is for reviews of ISP service, not a chat room.
If you want to report about the Dot1web situation, create a
thread on the General Forum and post your links there. To prevent
your posts from being deleted, just keep the language clean and
follow the forum
rules, especially
| Quote: |
| Personal attacks are not allowed. This
includes harassments, slamming, slandering, flames, trolling
and other forms of annoying
behaviour. |
Thank you.
