| 120277 | 2003-02-11 09:09:00 | Do ihugs emails telling you that they have cut you off after 3 hrs so everyone else can have a turn really annoy you. cheers |

| 120278 | 2003-02-11 09:30:00 | Not really. They do state a maximum 3 hour connection policy and actually only enforce it at night. It's rare (these days anyway) not to be able to reconnect immediately anyway. | Heather P (163) | ||
| 120279 | 2003-02-11 10:10:00 | If there is a policy on being connected for no more than three hours there is nothing to get annoyed about just log off before and reconnect. | mikebartnz (21) | ||
| 120280 | 2003-02-11 10:45:00 | I think I only had that twice over the last 8 months or so and that doesn't really bother me at all 'cos I can reconnect successfully again. And since I use download managers like DAP 5.3, I can always resume my large downloads. |

| 120281 | 2003-02-11 14:40:00 | Heres my $0.02 worth :D Well I use World-Net unlimited 56k, and have a dedicated router/firewall box, I usually get cut of every 12 hours, (which is pointless because it's set to redial 1 second after the connection fails), but if I was with Ihug I would be very annoyed if my box redialed six times during the nite and woke me up.

| 120282 | 2003-02-11 14:43:00 | OT - It looks like PF1's server's clock needs updating, my linux box says its two mins fast, and I just synced my box using network time protocol with time.nist.gov | nz_liam (845) | ||
| 120283 | 2003-02-11 18:33:00 | A little off this topic but still Ihug: Got a call from an Ihug represtative asking me which toll carrier I used, "Telecom or Telstra-Clear?" When I answered "Ihug" she had no form to refer to...obviously they don't feel they have much of the toll calls market! | falvrez (390) | ||
| 120284 | 2003-02-11 19:45:00 | A few years back it was a different story. ihug went through a really overloaded patch and I couldn't connect for 2 days! Constant engaged tone. THAT annoyed me to the extent of changing to Clear (not as many options around then). A few months later the bill hit $80 for 1 month and I went back to ihug. They had by then resolved their problems and it hasn't happened again. I can live with the 3 hour policy (and a very rare engaged tone) quite happily. Besides, Ultra is my only option for fast Internet. |

| 120285 | 2003-02-11 20:19:00 | Not any more, since I gave them the flick It used to annoy me only because it was on top of their poor bandwidth (stuttering and pulsing - very irregular) and near constant local router status problems and sometimes worse. As I have said before, Ginge is a Dog, sad to say |

| 120286 | 2003-02-11 20:19:00 | Ive never had that with Ihug and I can sometimes stay connected for a few days on end! | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
