As above guys, do you think we should start a name and shame thread for suppliers who take cash and then cut you off after a month or so??
my current guy hasn't responded to me in the last 3 days of my line not working (showing offline/login) and also the forum member who recommended him to me has also not responded despite been online.
 
and you will get banned for doing so,all in the rules,maybe it was not a provider but where it was addressed too?
 
A lot of people got stung with a couple of serves going tits up but its not someones fault if they recommend some one they might have used for a couple of years and the guy does a runner as most prob they got stung their selves,The ones to watch are the same guys that are sending pms to every single person requesting a server as most are only looking out for them selves,there is a guide to follow set out by the mods at the start of each request thread which nobody seems to follow.Look for VIP or VETEREN members for recommendations as a guide to follow,there are a couple of zero posters sending pms out to everyone,what the hell have they done to help other people on the forum
 
the good providers try and fix what issues they have + a bonus others only want money,i cannot say who is shite or excellent as that would mean checking them all out.
 
Well, I was recommended to a line by a Veteran 2 months ago and now the line is down.
Maybe it will come back up or maybe it will be gone forever. Would love a section like this but don't know how it would be policed nor if a line went down providers would be called for everything even if they are trying to fix the faults.
 
Exactly go pay the 90odd quid a month if you want perfect (even that isn't) things happen dont buy 12month lines most of all think of the money you saved
 
The problem with ths type of thread is that we are all anonymous here, so any server could put down another with no reason, or sing the praises of his, but saying it's not his.
These types of threads generally descend into a full blown war of words, with no winner as who can prove what. TechKings does not allow the mentioning of servers names or email addresses, nor IP addresses for this purpose (and to stay on the right side of the law).

It is hard enough to police a site this size, without adding something like this. the last week or so has seen a huge increase in posts against the rules as people were pissed off that their line went down. They then exacerbated the problems by posting their new isp addresses/ dns settings, which caused the server to be banned from his provider several times, causing the server to be down several times.
 
There is no point to this they will rename them self etc etc only buy a month at a time and thats the only way to cut this down,people also say they been rip off some have only paid 25 for a year so if u got a month or more u have had your moneys worth any way.
 
Don't agree with hassling the member who recommended the server it's not their fault everyone has the choice to take or ignore their advice. Unfortunately if you can't afford to lose the money you pay for a server you shouldn't be spending it, we pay a fraction what it would cost to get the channels we get if you want guaranteed to then sign up with sly or vermin.
 
Pay yer money take a chance we all know the risks mine went off fri morn after 4 1/2 months came back on sat that's the only problem I've had
 
how much would that cost you with sly full package and bt £350+ for 4/5 months,i run loads of boxes and some i fit for pay way over £100 a month
 
folks way I see it even if you have had a month you have had your moneys worth, the rest is gravy, but for ones who had paid and it went off after a few days its just the nature of this beast you win some and you lose some, end of the day your still going to better off than paying sky £80 + per month !
 
Watch out on wednesday as sly are announcing a few changes to their setup,could be curtains all round and no more card sharing,god help us all
