I have chosen to forget the horror of pre BB with NTL.
All those run off and fail to deliver ISPs because they couldn't actually service the members they did have especially if one was a cable phone user.AOL were the only ones who came anywhere near providing a service to cable telco users. but you still got cut off after two hours.

Oh the fun year of of waiting for C&W to provide a Free 24/7 dial up service to my area only for them to withdraw it two months after I got the disc..

Does anyone remember the ISP Redhotant? hehe

Re: Who was your first isp and what year was it
 

As I had a Cable phone line I had to use an ISP that offered it through that line as many at the time insisted on BT lines so we went with AOL.

1994 ??
ComTel which later became CableTel who in turn rebranded as NTL

Aahhh the heady days of dialup.

Re: Who was your first isp and what year was it
 

NTL dialup, :shocked: think it was around 2000 - 2001.

Re: Who was your first isp and what year was it
 

My next ISP after Supanet was AOL for the same reason, as it was one of the few to use a cable phone.

Re: Who was your first isp and what year was it
 

BT Dial Up then BT broadband amazing 512K and then 1.1Mb, after all that went to Telewest and now Virgin.

Re: Who was your first isp and what year was it
 

Same here. Although I had a Hayes Accura external 14.4 lol. AOL sucked big-time.

Re: Who was your first isp and what year was it
 

i was on AOL for years on Dialup. I still have an account with them which i use from time to time i dont pay for it tho.

Re: Who was your first isp and what year was it
 

My first ISP was 'Vossnet' probably going back to the early nineties.

Unfortunately, I didn't grasp the concept of a local rate call for Internet and found myself dialling a national number to get online.

Fortunately, there wasn't a fat lot to do at the time and I moved onto Netcom on a 0845 number and stayed with them.

Demon about 1996, then aol then ntl about 1998 through my stb 128k!!

Re: Who was your first isp and what year was it
 

Freeserve in 1998 with a 33k modem in my Win98 PC.

Switched to NTL dialup at some point, then 600k broadband when a 98-XP upgrade meant my modem didn't work anymore.

Re: Who was your first isp and what year was it
 

swinternet from software warehouse in the mid 90s. I think it got swallowed up by freeserve eventually? Been with Telewest, then VM for about a decade now :)
