Bandwidth Problems at www.n9210.co.uk
Published by Rafe Blandford at
A message from N9210.co.uk who are having bandwih problems. PLease give them all the support you can. They are one of the longest established 9210 sites and offer a unique service.
Hi folks, sorry to have to put this to you all, but I had a phone call from my ISP today telling me I've gone slightly over my bandwidth allowance. With the account I have I have unlimited disk space, but limited to 250Mb bandwidth a month, and last month it was just a tad over - 4GB (yeah - I was shocked as well). They have
decided that enough is enough and that they will have to charge me for the extra usage (not sure of the price yet). I've also been told that further indiscretions will also be charged unless I upgrade my account to somethig appropriate. I can get double the bandwidth (500Mb) if I pay 4 times what I'm paying now (yeah - doesn't make sense to me either), but this doesn't come anywhere near enough.
Now I'm not asking for anyone to pay this or donations or anything like that (yet)- all I'm asking for is that you click on my banners (especially the long one at the top). In the 11 months I've been running the site I've amassed a grand total of £70 due to advertising (£40 I've received - £30 still with the ad company).
This is still just a hobby site to me (well, it' more that just a hobby site)and I enjoy doing it and want to keep on doing it - even though it costs me and the costs are rising, but I don't have an unlimited amount of funds available to do so (the wife keeps pruning the money tree out the back before I can get to it). So PLEASE remember to keep clicking on the ads. And even better sign up for some of the stuff (some ads don't pay for click, only for registrations, and most of those there are no commitments - but check before signing up to anything).
Anyway, that's it except to say thanks to everyone for making www.n9210.co.uk a great success and hopefully you've enjoyed it as much as I have and I hope it sticks around for a while longer.
Regards
