Dial-up suggestions
 

My mum's having trouble with her dial-up connection provider. Any suggestions for no-fuss providers - just create the Windows connection and away you go. No signing your life away.

Why doesn't your mum have broadband instead?

Re: Dial-up suggestions
 

She's in a bit of broadband-free area, and the cost would be more than she pays at the moment - she's only a light user.

My own ISP offers a few subscription based packages, or a simple PAYG service. See here.

This is the best ISP I have used to date, the support is excellent.

If you dont want to give out her postcode, give a postcode thats very close to her so maybe we could help find cheap providers for her...

Re: Dial-up suggestions
 

She's in LS26

I went with UKFSN - created an account and setup the connection. Seems to be working fine - left F-Prot updating and the connection stayed live, whereas with the old connection, my mum reports it was dropping out all the time, or difficult to logon.

Good choice ! :)

Although I am slightly biased. ;)

:D

I do prefer the smaller companies - usually do provide better service.

Since you said she's a very light user, she can get Be's Broadband for £14 per month with a 4GB usage limit.

I know it seems extreemly fast, but broadband at that price is very good.

I used the postcode LS26 0RA to do my search.

You can click on LLU or Cable etc using her real postcode to do the search on that site, you can also enter her phone number to get a better result.

i hope this helps
