Alternative ISP's for a ntl phone Line

jazzy · 29-06-2004, 12:09

I am looking for another dial-up anytime isp for my ntl phone line.
I have had major problems with the ntlworld service!
The only two I can find are aol and gio internet, so what else is around?
thanks

i think tesco.net is available through an ntl line as well, but not 100% sure.

Sorry guys, virgin net and tesco are not available on a ntl line!

What about PlusNet (www.plus.net)? I have a BT line but also one of my numbers I can dial in from in a NTL one and it works fine.

I should read the forums on ISPr before signing up for Gio you think NTL are bad members have paid for 6 to 12 months upfront for special deals and after the first day cannot connect and some have waited over 3 months to still have no refund.
I would post a link but it might be against the rules so I will just say google search ispreview.co.uk.

As for ISPs that allow NTL line officially its only AOL and Gio did say it was coming soon. All others I have checked say BT lines. If I remember right to use a cable line causes extra charges not sure if its the customer or the ISP but its a connection charge BT charge for you connecting to BTs 0808 number.

Sorry but you are wrong.

I use my virgin.net e-mail on a 1mb ntl BB connection.

I think Jazzy's looking for a dial-up provider

I have got the following browsers on my system IE, Netscape, MSN, Firefox, Opera, Yahoo and ICQ.
All of them are free and work through ntl:'s BB system and when I had dialup.
To make them all work properly make none of them the default, that way you don't get any conflicts.
I also have email addresses for all of them which all work, again not making any one the default.

Virgin.net works just as well on NTL dial-up, in fact, on any connection.

I think it will only work on pay as you go not the virgin 24/7 service

Yes, in the case of the 24x7 you do appear to need a BT line for it to be free calls. I was referring to the PAYG service which is the one I use for backup - and when "on the road". My mistake - I should have been clearer.
