I think £10-5/month unmetered access is the standard price for dialup.
Its about £25-30/month for broadband, most companies offer discounts such that the installation is effectively free as long as you use the service for six months to a year.One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.Comment

PIPEX give you a free ASDL modem and connection as long as you stay with them a year for 23 quid a month, its a bit dearer than my old dial up connection but worth every penny IMO (i make up the difference getting freebies off Kazaa)Comment

Depends on how much you use the net. There are dozens of free, "cost-of-a-local-call" (like, 2p a minute peak time) dialups, but once you get to unmereted dialup or ADSL it's pretty tightly regulated through a BT-controlled wholesale system, so you're probably best off looking for reasonable additional features or minor price differences.
I'm currently with Freedom2Surf's ADSL service, which is moderately cheap, has static IP addresses, brilliant fast web space and no hidden costs or forced-on contracts. You need your own ADSL modem though. http://www.f2s.com/adsl/home.phpVärldsstad - Dom lokala genrenas vän

I'm running a cable modem thanks to NTL and very happy with the speed and reliability of the service...(+1)Comment

NTL - great until you need to talk to some support
... which thankfully shouldn't happen under normal circumstances as the tehchincal part of the service is very good.

running AOL dial-up here, no ADSL in this part of somerset, it's alright, £15 per month, 24/7 access, fairly stable, not overly fast, but then again i have a 28.8k modem, so you can't expect miracles.

Had it for year or 2 now and i can only remember it being down twice, was back up within an hour or so aswell.Learn to overcome the crass demands of flesh and bone, for they warp the matrix through which we perceive the world. Extend your awareness outward, beyond the self of body, to embrace the self of group and the self of humanity. The goals of the group and the greater race are transcendant, and to embrace them is to acheive enlightenment.Comment

I'm thinking of going in the way of broadband. For the amount of time i spend on the net you would think i would know more about this kind of stuff. Whats better/difference between adsl, cable broadband etc.
Stew, as to my location I can't be too forthcoming because of the pyscho american stalker i have, who, would you believe it has tracked my frequentation of apolyton.

They're not always too bad in that repect actually. Even for simple requests like getting them to tell me my username and password I went straight through; although there have been times when I've been on hold for a few minutes.Originally posted by OneFootInTheGrave
