Don't forget though that broadband is always on and you don't get disconnected after two hours. It doesn't tie up your phone line either so you can still make / receive calls whilst surfing.

You certainly can 
Of my 4 boot options, one is 98SE and the other three are 95OSR2.5
All can access this place with no problems at all.

Don't forget that for the forty quid or so you'll pay extra in a year for the soon to be 2meg service you won't have your phone line tied up when on-line.
And, just consider, a heavy web page will load in under a second, rather than 20 seconds

I want the following from NTL

NTL is the start of the problem
The cost of the 0845 call is a expensive. Find an ISP who has a geographical POP and it not on NTL's expensive list.
