My e7even broadband connection wasn't working this morning.
What was odd was I could 'ping' everywhere but no web pages or data
transfer worked (even VPN!)

Eventually got a page displayed from Ezee DSL saying that e7even could
no longer provide service.

Options were either

wait until July 14th to connect to a different ISP (there was no
explanation about whether or not you needed to get your MAC etc..)

or

sign up with Ezee DSL straight away (£15.99/month for 512k, other
speeds available). I think this is a 12-month contract although they
don't make it very clear!

I was a bit wary in case Ezee were just e7even renamed and doing
another scam but they claimed to be part of 186k (who, as far as I can
tell used to be the telecoms part of Transco) and were wholesalers for
Tiscali.

Anyway I decided to risk it and payed up using Worldpay.

Anybody know if these guys are genuine.

My connection was working within seconds of paying - which surprised
me a bit.

I've just logged onto e7even's homepage and it gives the following:

"Welcome to e7broadband

"Finally, a quick thank you to all of those negative posters who wanted
to take E7even to court and put them out of business. You have
succeeded, so I hope you are feeling happy and contented. I, like many
others, will have lost any possibility of getting money back and have
lost 2 years of subscription [expires 25th July 2008 - paid by business
cheque, so no CC guarantee to fall back on]. "

One has to laarff, does not one?

Note to self: stay with AOL. They seem to know what they are doing.

If something looks to good to be true is most likely is. Foot stamping and
blaming others for your failure to do a little research before parting with
your cash is not going to get it back. Seems like an expensive lesson, but
I guess that is the way the terminally clue resistant learn.

Isn't AOL in the UK seeking a buyer for its business?

AOL sux

Have to agree, tried many times to fix AOL problems for clients. My
broadband worked fine on their PC's (was E7even) but AOL failed, up to
6 weeks and sometimes complete windows re-install to sort it out.

E7even, Ofcom and Otelo cannot update as to whether e7even have
gone bust

1. Can anyone confirm this?
2. Also does anyone know if it is illegal to withold MAC codes?

I have client websites with E7even and now the domain names are
unavailable so no websites.

Can't even get to them to re-direct, therefore unhappy customers and my
Company Name and Services tarnished again, thanks very much E7even

The MAC code & the migration of accounts was purely voluntary, ISP's
could opt into, or out of that scheme as they wished...
