Actually  there is a difference.

Technical  support are unable to  access  users
Computer  remotely, if the user is not  on broadband.

Even if I tell them they can log  in to my computer  to check
My setup, they say it's impossible because I am not on broadband.

Makes no difference whether you're on broadband or dialup.

The key point is, as you say, "If you agree". If you don't agree, they
can't do it!

Ok how about this:

If you are on broadband I understand technical support can Log in
directly
to your computer, and make the Necessary changes if you agree.

So if it's so easy for support to do that, log in to your Computer,
surely it's easy for any dishonest person to do same.

Derek,

With dial-up you run the risk of what are known as rogue diallers being
installed if you accidentally click on a dodgy webpage and/or link. Rogue
diallers basically redirect your connection to a premium rate number so

that
you are paying premium rates rather than local call rates. Broadband does, of course have risks, however the instalation of rogue diallers is not one of them and with good (free anti-virus) such as Avast and products such as 
the free version of Zone Alarm you can greatly reduce many risks. It is
(obviously) your choiece but isn't it worth looking at some broadband
comparison sites to see what deals are out there. In my opinion broadband

is


the best solution for the vast majority of people.

Kevin

BT charges £25 a month for unlimited broadband!

And I think £14 for up to 10GB cap!

Anyway, is I tnot true that dial-up is more secure than broadband.

That is expensive when compared with broadband prices. My unlimited
broadband is only £12 a month and I'm sure I could get a cheaper package

if

I really tried.

Well I am with BT Dial-up
It costs me a flat rate £16 a month and it's for unlimited access to
Email and internet.

Given that I do not download music, books, movies, pictures,
Games, dial-up meets my needs.

I just wish BT could address the problem I have right now.

When I try to download a news paper from Talking papers,
The BT server will stop sending the data if the email
Is long. This problem has only started In past few weeks.
So if say The Guardian was 400kb the download stops when it gets to
About 350kb
Anyone any idea why this may happen.

I used to have dial-up many years ago and Was getting a bill of (at the
highest) £80 a month. I am now with TalkTalk and pay, on average £20 a

month
for broadband, free UK landline calls (including 0845 and 0870 numbers). I 
would never wish to return to broadband.

Kevin

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.
