Any further forward with this issue Marko?

Sorry, meant to update this a few days ago!, Yes, we've got a CDN established now and you may have already noticed we've started updating those downloads which we host - although you won't actually be able to tell by physically looking at the download if we host it or not, you will definately notice the download itself as it will come flying down to you!.   At some point in the future, I would like to think it possible to host many more downloads on our own servers to give our users the fantastic speeds of the CDN although cost's for this technology can be extremely high and we're just not in a position to accomodate useage on a grand scale

You never know though, watch this space as anything can, and usually does happen, but for now I hope everyone enjoy's our downloads hosted on the CDN!.

As for streamlinenet, they still haven't responded to me and I'm not expecting them to either, chances are they have already seen this thread and know the damage they have already caused, as far as I'm concerned they can shove their 2bit hosting as far as they can get it!.
Cheers
Marko

  Now this is funny ... had a note from Streamlinenet nearly A MONTH after I initially reported problems with the hosting telling me I CAN'T cancel my contract  

To recap, THEY told me I was in breach of my contract because I was "file sharing" and "abusing" their systems, which I was obviously not, and because they have chosen not to act on my alleged "file sharing" or "abusing" I can only assume they now believe no breach took place which brings us back to my initial problem of not receiving a service from them which they have never actually addresses therefore due to THEIR BREACH in contract by not providing me with the service I was/am paying for I am entitled to end my contract which I did shortly after reporting the issue, my my, talk about amateurs!

Amateurs, dillbrains, morons, galahs, drongos, boofheads, imbeciles, cretins...the adjectives abound!!!

Needless to say Marko, you are much better off without these xxxxxxx (use any of the above).

WOW! This has got to be a record or something surely!  Some EIGHT MONTHS after this problem, streamline.net are now back looking for money from us because they have been hosting us all this time apparently!!!.   What's even funnier is they have raised a new ticket on 10th Jan 2010 telling me our content has been "archived" because "During a recent file system audit it has been discovered that your domain is in breach of our terms of service."

This is still to do with the fact that I was hosting downloads on their servers rather than web pages.   Remember their quote that we "abused" their system?!.

God help us if we were actually hosting FreewareBB with them, they would no doubt tell us that we were generating too much traffic from the web pages.

Needless to say, streamline.net will not be receiving any form of payment from us and in fact they have ignored my requests to have my details removed from their systems thus comitting a breach under the Data Protection Act in the UK, although this probably amounts to nothing anyway as most laws in the UK are tailored to suit the corporate bodies and not individuals like myself, but I'll take great pleasure in doing what streamline.net did to me for many months, ignore them

how are they getting away with it?

The same way hundreds of other companies get away with acting like morans, because it's usually too much hassle to bring them to justice through the legal system, but I prefer letting everyone else know about the situation and thus can avoid the problems we've encountered, when enough people read threads like this one they will make up their own minds on the company in question and whether or not they want to take the chance on hosting their domains with them or not, chances are I'd run a mile if I read this, and I've seen plenty of other articles and threads across the net of a similar nature so it's not just us who think they are answerable!.

Imagine my surprise when last week, streamline all of a sudden has started sending me e-mails along the line of:
We tried to rebill one of the extra features on your hosting account, however there is a slight  problem. Your credit card was not authorised for payment.

Yep, us too now, been getting these emails for a few months now, they just don't give up do they!
