Hi Dave
As you will see from the email address, I am on NTL through cable. This
seems to be such a practical and efficient way to use broadband and is so
simple to use.
If you are using a BT line with ADSL modem I personally would recommend
Tiscali or Virgin. These both seem to offer free modem all the time rather
than just on special and there service is easy to install, simple to use,
but most importantly is not subject to surf time restrictions. You need to
check carefully that such restrictions do not apply when connecting to BB
with either BT or Freeserve. Anytime, does not necessarily mean Anytime!
Both the providers I mention seem to have a very good record for maintaining
the service standard. There is nothing worse than a lack of consistency in
the mail servers etc.
