I know there's a few spock-eared IT monkeys hang around here, so between conventions, I was hoping for a little advice. In return, I will pretend to be your real, as opposed to virtual, friend for no longer than 12 hours.

 

I bought a domain name for my business from a bunch of useless conning twats called 123-reg, who are part of Pipex I believe. I got what they call a pop box for my email as part of a deal.

 

Since I set this up, randomly selected incoming emails have been taking up to 24 hours to hit my Outlook inbox, and on occasion, like today, outgoing emails have arrived three times in the inbox of people I have sent messages to.

 

Emails to them have been ignored, and so I had to phone their thieving 50p/min jokeline where some comedian pretty much said "yeah, we're shit aren't we".

 

My gut reaction is to go to BT, as although I know they will be a little costlier, it's important for my business that my email runs smoothly and efficiently. so two questions..

 

1. Anyone know if BT Business is any good for this sort of thing? I don't need masses of storage, remote access, wireless whatsit - I just need to be able to get messages at work.

2. Anyone know anyone who works at 123-reg that I can take my frustration out on with my fists?

Honestly mate, at the moment, I could get messages quicker to people by employing Huggy Bear to just put the word on the street.

Transfer the domain to a better reg.

Transfer the domain to a better reg.

 

Wow thanks Mister Gates.

Isn't that what is commonly known as a unique selling point? It would certainly be very, very cool. I say fuck technology and go with the pimped out option.

Wow thanks Mister Gates.

 

Alright Mr Arsey, 123 are pants (bout 3 days for a reply from tech support so you use the premium rate line) and BT aren't much better.

 

Transfer the domain to somebody like Fasthosts and use their mail system.
