Tiny Dial-up 1998. It came bundled on a mates PC (obviously bought from tiny computers). Was an 0845 so not free but was as cheap as I could get because my Dad wouldn't pay for a subscription.
Switched to Xtream for a while from 1999 until It got to the point where even an hour of dialing couldn't get a connection.
Eventually wore my Dad down and we got AOL, not my best decision but it was mostly reliable.
Then in 2000 or 2001 we got Cable and wireless broadband through the pace stb I had in my room. Think it was 512k. Been with cable in one form or another ever since asside from 1 year when I lived in an un-cabled street and went with SKY BB.
