Number 17 -- June 1997 -- http://newsstand.pavilion.net/latest/
Pavilion is always looking at how it can improve its service to you its customer, and so it is pleasing to note that over the last six months Pavilion's performance has been independently monitored by Internet Magazine and we have been rated by them as number 5 in the Top 10 ISP's in the country.

PLEASE CHANGE TO THE NEW NATIONAL LOCAL CALL DIAL NUMBER

Pavilion's National Local Dial number 0645 270000 has now been operational for two months!!!!

All Pavilion's subscribers should take advantage of this number by changing the prefix of the number you call from 01273 to 0645. Pavilion's commitment still stands; there will be no engaged tones on the service and there is no extra charge for the new service unlike other ISPs. Some of our customers were confused by these prices, there is NO EXTRA COST for the national number and anybody can use this service.

We recommend that all our subscribers change to the new number.

Now is the time to recommend your friends or your company to join the Internet with Pavilion.

The new annual subscription charge is £100.00 plus VAT, which is less than £10.00 per month. If you want to change to the annual just e-mail sales@pavilion.net and they will help you.
