A quick entry to warn anyone who's thinking of using the AMD Live! Media Vault - DO NOT!!
I signed up for an initial free 25GB of storage, but I needed greater capacity to get hold of a friend's wedding photos so I decided to pay for an upgrade for a small monthly fee. I figured I could pay for a month then cancel it after I'd got the photos but how wrong I was! Once signed up, the site doesn't offer any proper way to cancel the service apart from emails which they have refused to acknowledge in any way.
So I've ended up being charged since May for a service I no longer want & can't cancel. I'm currently urging my credit card company to pursue them for what I consider to be fraud (the card company, Co-Operative Bank, has been pretty tardy at doing so, but that's another story!).
Worryingly when the bank actually did stop one set of charges from Mediamax they simply changed the name to Streamload & continued to bill me for the service! It’s still ongoing, obviously it will end at some point, I’ll get a new credit card, but I wanted to get out there what a racket this service is.
Avoid at all costs!
