Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. These volunteers keep the board organized and moving.
Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity)
Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum.
Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules.
Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted.
Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender.
Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration.


The Rules

1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated. Commercial advertising is not allowed in any form, including using in signatures.

3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum.

4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks.

5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem.

7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required.

8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning.

9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online.

10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents.

11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban.

13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts.

14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam.

15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues.

Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis.


Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community.

Ntl is fine, but it is a cable tv provider - this means you get generally good broadband (all ISP have their problems) but have to use their other services. They are currently upgrading their packages so best to visit the home page for info:
http://www.ntl.com/
They have recently merges with telewest (another cable operator) and the group has bought virgin mobile. You will have to check if they cover the area you are moving to.
They advertise as 'unlimited' and it basically is, although there is a small part in the contract which allows them to curb your usage (but I've never heard of this happening, and would expect it only to happen for very high usage), and they do not block P2P usage. Oh and BTW in the UK I am pretty sure any authortity needs a UK Court order to get your details from any ISP.
Here is a useful site to check what Broadband is available in the area you are moving to:

http://www.broadbandchecker.co.uk/

There is a pop-up so best use Firefox, you will need to know the postal code for the address you are moving to.

Hope that helps

You should check the ISP's which are available in your area. Bulldog was recommended to me also but I found that they didnt service the area where I lived.

I've downloaded a large amount over the last couple of months and have had no complaints from the ISP

Before you sign on with any ISP, always check their policy on downloading (I found unlimited means different things to different servers) especially the times!

Bulldog had recently announced that it was not taking on anymore domestic customers while it was in negotiations to sell itself, now Bulldog is owned by Pipex and is signing up new customers again.

Here is the announcement:
Quote:
Pipex Communications plc:
Acquisition of Bulldog’s broadband customer base


Pipex Communications plc (PXC), (“Pipex”) a major provider of integrated telecommunications and internet solutions including broadband, voice, domain name registrations and hosting, announces the acquisition from Cable & Wireless of Bulldog’s residential and small business broadband customer base, website (www.bulldogbroadband.com), rights to the Bulldog brand and domain names, for a consideration of £12m in cash.
Also, use the following URL and enter your post code in the required field, this will tell you if your area is covered by the Bulldog network.

https://secure.bulldogbroadband.com/...archtype=telno

Now the question, am I happy with Bulldog? Well, they are cheap and they do not curb P2P traffic, however this might change under Pipex, but for now they are OK. There is plenty of room for improvement, for example, they were late in getting me switched over from BT to their network (leaving me without phone or internet connection for 2 – 3 weeks) and there was a fault which stopped friends and relatives calling me when the switch over was completed. Nevertheless, I understand that these faults were down to dirty tricks by BT engineers, i.e. deliberately creating faults so that Bulldog would be blamed for them.

I still have one or two issues to be sorted out but nothing that would make me start looking for another ISP at the moment.

Anyway, good luck in choosing your new ISP.



UK Bob

a check submited late and you dont have what you thought in the bank so
NTL cut you off. A few friends have said about this.
I dont care much about D/L speed, My job if you like is distributing Songs,Pic's
Books,Videos ect.. Hare Krishna files 3000 at any one time, so I would just like
more than 30 KBs up for no more than £30,monthly Yer I could run to £30 if I cut the dog & budgie's allouance.
Bulldog! I did fill in all info Post Code inc.. It returnd Invalid Address,Ive lived
there for 15 years. I would like to try Bulldog though. Im not comsavy so navigating,n troublshooting bewilder me.
I better check your links they may have sorted my prob, later, n thanks UK Bob

Try this phone number 0800 404 8151, as it may help to actually speak to someone at Bulldog.
