Cool Re: BT Broadband

There is something else you should know about BT. Whenever there is a problem it is always YOUR FAULT even when it isn’t.

You can have up to 5 different email addresses and each address comes with its own 15MB of web space. The down side is you cannot link from one web space to the others so you can’t have a 75MB web site.

Until recently you could upload your web site stuff using FTP. They have disabled that now so you have to go to their web site http://uk.geocities.yahoo.com/v/ul.html to upload any web pages etc. It’s no big deal really but it was much easier with something like Cute FTP.

BT’s email service can be a bit iffy at times. Too many times really. But on the plus side they have a very good SPAM filter system and anti nasty system.

Tip for you. When you signed up to BT they will have allocated you an email address, your primary one. Do not use that one ever. Use one of the other four that you can have and instead of a real word for your user name use half a dozen random characters. Then when one of those gets known on the Internet and you start to get loads and loads of spam, you just dump it and use one of your others. Then you can replace the dumped email address with another. You can dump the four extras but you cannot dump your primary email address.
