Don't forget though that broadband is always on and you don't get disconnected after two hours. It doesn't tie up your phone line either so you can still make / receive calls whilst surfing.

You certainly can ;)

Of my 4 boot options, one is 98SE and the other three are 95OSR2.5

All can access this place with no problems at all. :)

Don't forget that for the forty quid or so you'll pay extra in a year for the soon to be 2meg service you won't have your phone line tied up when on-line.

And, just consider, a heavy web page will load in under a second, rather than 20 seconds :)

I want the following from NTL

NTL is the start of the problem

The cost of the 0845 call is a expensive. Find an ISP who has a geographical POP and it not on NTL's expensive list.
