Came across an ad in the paper for DSL service @ $24.95/Mo from some outfit called Magumpus (Huh????). Supposedly not an introductory offer.

http://www.magumpus.net/

I'm real skeptical and I'm sure there's a catch....does anybody have any expereince with them, or can someone figure out what the likely catch is????? Spyware?....Advertising?......Communist plot?......Liar, liar pants on fire????

Look here at what you get for what price.

IMHO .... If their Web Site is an indication of what you can expect I'd steer clear of it .... I can read between the lines and see it's not for me.

Hey Dark Star, how are you doing???? Yeah, the web site is rather spartan, isn't it? I'm sure you're turning your browser, and more, over to this outfit. Having never heard of them, I was real curious if anyone might have had any experience with them, since I'll not be one of them.

I have had Magumpus DSL for three months. I am really happy with the service. I use Magumpus DSL for my home, and for my Theater. Check it out! www.olympictheater.tv

Magumpus, it's a scam!!! I tried to subscibe to em, and never got anyone to call me for my status for 3 weeks. They just billed my visa card for $25. When I tried to call 3 times to question the charge, their phone number was always busy. Strange, because I called the same no. 2 weeks ago and got thru just fine. I don't know, maybe they're bankrupt.

Another satisfied customer.....ding...ding....ding!!!

I had an experience pretty similar to JDDD's. I called before I signed up just to check to see if there were any real people behind the organization and got through to a very nice tech support person.

Then I signed up online in early October and never heard anything from them although my credid card was instantly charged 24.95. There's a notice on the site that says they will give two months of free service to anyone who signed up for service during that period, but I called my credit card company to have them give me a credit.

I don't think they're into anything fraudulent - just overwhelmed by the response to an offer that's at half the going rate for the service. I still want to look into it - I'll just wait until I can get through to someone on the phone and try again. Their website IS pretty amateurish-looking - which is not a great sign.

How long does it take to Magumpus DSL to arrive?
I order it and I want to find out, just to be sure!

[ramkelath]

I just got an email receipt from them (Jan 14) for my order. I'll let you know when the DSL gets here ..

[Burn140]

Can someone tell Me about Magumpus DSL? I order It and it still hasnt arrive? If someone has it, can you tell me how long it took for it to come?
