This as far as I know has the best advice on all ISP's dial-up, ASDL or Cable.

For use that falls between PAYG and pay monthly, the other alternative is the prepay... lower rates than PAYG

50 hours at £15 (0.5p/min anytime), 100 hours at £25 - so that works out to £12.50/month if you use 50 hours per month (the limit on some pay monthly deals).

Virgin is NTL, if that helps you decide.

Re: cheapest dial-up internet provider....

Sorry, should've made clear my Virgin.net is dial-up, as per the OP's opening question.
