A Ntl phone line will work on any pay as you go ISP provider.This is what I have as a back up from the BB.IF you want 24/7 you have as far as I know only got AOL.

I had this problem when I was waiting for my FREE dial up service from ntl for 16 months.I got shafted as one by one all the ISP's that said they provided the service withdrew it for cable phone lines.

Why not stick with AOL but not use the software(if that's your problem) just use IE to surf after you have used the AOL software to dial up.It's what I did for a while(when I was waiting for the FREE service which soon became a pay for service 2 months after I got my CD)
