812837 2009-09-23 04:00:00 I have just moved to Slingshot and find I can't get Daily Mail UK,is it the site or is it Slingshot,all seems a bit slower than Clear,though I was assured that would not be the case.

I have agreed to their terms,but feel if they do not deliver I should be able to back out in the first week?
Any thought?

One reason I moved from slingshot, because their speeds were terrible, especially international websites. One website, Godaddy dot com was very very slow at loading.

Must the problem be with Slingshot?

Try a quality paper like the Telegraph instead.....

Pretty average, TelstraClear could about match that. I'd recommend switching.

If they do that,then they didn't do it for me,for that is who I have just changed from.

Is that forever, or just for a limited time, and did you have to signup to a contract to get that. Slingshot have been on fairgo recently, and it was noted that they have the highest percentage of compliants, based on their size, of any ISP in NZ, and they aren't a member of the Telecommunication Dispute Resolution (TDR) service. I would personally never use them again, basically becuase my connection with them was so unreliable, and had major difficulty accessing many international websites.

That is forever,and will reduce price if I cand find a better one.

I do like the fixed price,but relibilty may be a worry.

Fair Go here we come.Always wanted to be on Telly.
