Re: Recommend me a good dial-up ISP

Plus you pay BT a £7 fee for SurfTime
http://www.bt.com/surftime/index.jsp...tml&vStore=999

List of surftime ISPs
http://www.bt.com/surftime/ChooseISP...K&obsOID=43650

Once you've registered with an ISP, make a note of the access number supplied to you starting 0844 04. You'll need to dial this number whenever you log on during the evening & weekend period to take advantage of the SurfTime discount package, otherwise you may be charged for your calls.

Or SurfTime anytime if you are going to be using the internet a lot during the day

Q: What is SurfTime Anytime?
A: SurfTime Anytime operates in exactly the same way as SurfTime Evening & Weekend, except that the call discounts apply 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It costs £30.00 per month (including VAT). Like SurfTime Evening & Weekend, you will need to register with a participating ISP who will provide you with a dedicated SurfTime dial-up number starting 0844 04. The ISP will charge a further monthly subscription fee. The ISP's own Terms & Conditions of service and any online session limitations will also apply.
Find out about and choose a participating ISP.
I think I understand all that. What I don't understand is why you need to pay BT anything at all - Virgin.net, for example, that Jazzy linked to, appears not to need Surftime, yet is still unlimited and unmetered.
