I was going to wait and wait before putting in a bad review, in the hope that such a simple basis service could be restored to how it once was (reliable!). But I guess after 5+ years its time to accept this is a complete waste of time. Bigfoot is dead, and shuffled off etc. Totally unreliable and I have refused to upgrade to the paid service because I can see its NO BETTER, so no point. When it was working, sporadically, the email server IP addresses are on SPAM block lists, so most... (read more)

BEST TO AVOID!!!
I signed up with them back in the late 90s, when things were pretty basic. It seems to be a good idea at the time to have a permanent email address when ISPs were unreliable and had to switch ISPs every now and then.
I must say, initially the service was good. Like anything else, all good things come to an end. Due to he increasing number of subscribers, they have decided to charge for their service, and that was where things started to go wrong. Nothing wrong with...

my experience is identical to first reviewer. In using them for years, they go down frequently and when they do they don't even respond.

Absolute rubbish, stay away from this provider, mails servers are always down, spam protection is a joke.
To give you an example of how bad Bigfoot are their servers are usually down at weekends, this happens 3 out of every 4 weekends.
Also their customer service is a complete joke, they never respond to any specific emails, they send out standard foboff emails which never answer your questions.

too true. I am the same. Signed up years ago - was fine for a while, then the past 3 years have been a disaster. Its been a complete pain having to drop my 'lifetime' email. I'll keep it running but it just never works these days so what's the point. Avoid.
