MatrixNet FREE account issues

[I O U]

Anyone else been trying out their free account, since either Dec.'10 or Jan.11 ?

I find that increasingly, they seem to be throttling speeds for basic downloads like YouTube.
Currently, I can't even log on to do a test on a download, but my guess is about 10 - 20kb/s on a 384 line - that's mainly only been the last few days, to be honest.

The 2nd issue raised, the fact that I've not been able to log on this evening, seems to happen more & more as each month rolls on.

@ R28/Gig, I don't think I'll be signing-up once this FREE 5-month period is up.

I get full speeds on 4 meg line.

Anyone know if any other companies are having free trials?
Maybe a mod (or I) can make a thread where mybb peeps and isp's can let us know when they have a free adsl trial promotion... What are you guy's ideas?

No problems here. Mine running out in April, do I need to cancel it or will it be done automatically?

They don't have your details so I'm not sure it matters whether or not you tell them...
