I signed up for them for surftime (having looked over their site and thinking
it looked ok... Only when I was signed up did I get access to the customer
section which had a document showing what they thought were acceptable usage
limits and lots of complaints about this...

The document basically said 4 hours a day on surftime... was "taking the
mikey". I tried to cancel and get a refund (3 months in advance, iirc), but
they told me I'd just have to use it till the account was closed by them for
breach of their acceptable usage policy, and I'd get a refund then...

Wouldn't touch them again with a bargepole.
Surftime:- evenings and weekends, and they think 4 hours a day is too much?
What drugs were they smoking?
