Hi Derek.
I strongly suggest you look at broadband again, not only is the connection
more reliable but there are packages for light users like yourself. Dialup
access is actually more expensive now than the cheapest broadband packages
because of the local rate telephone calls you have to make being charged by
the minute, plus the speed of course means that things take longer to
accomplish. I sometimes hark back to the time when web pages were small
enough to be delivered in seconds over a dialup connection, however as
faster connectivity options are now available and more commonly used, web
page sizes have ballooned as well, meaning that dialup is now not even an
efficient way of browsing the internet's most basic content like news and
for online shopping etc. Can I urge you to at least look at broadband, even
mobile broadband can be better value and you don't need to be tied to a
phone line. If you must use dialup, you should try something like On Speed
which compresses traffic as it is sent and received, in theory increasing
the performance of your internet connection.
All the best, Ibrahim.

Hi All
I am maybe only one on list that still uses Dial-up access
Well it meets my needs.
Anyway, I am having a problem that when I try to Download mail
it keeps stopping too soon.
BT says and I quote:
"You are under absolutely no pressure to have broadband
from BT. Moving to another provider for your line wont
take away these issues-it's all the same network which, is owned
by BT Openreach."
Is BT correct to suggest that being cut of from a servier,
Would still happen no matter which ISP I am with.
Regards, Derek
