I know this is not the appropriate section of the forum to post about ISP’s, but there appears to be no other suitable place to post for help on this matter!
I am currently using AOL Dialup 56k, I have been for the past couple of years, and we have had major problems with the service within the last couple of weeks. We have finally come to the decision that its time to move on to broadband, however there is a slight hitch.
It appears here in the UK (London, England); most of the popular ISP’s that we wanted to consider joining for broadband purposes is unavailable to us because of our current telephone line. Our telephone line is Telewest, but it appears that the entire ISP’s which we have considered are only BT and NTL compatible, this has left us confused as to which provider to use.
We have tried researching AOL broadband, Tescali, Wonadoo, NTL and virgin broadband with no luck, and we don’t want to have to switch to a BT telephone line just for internet access as that is completely ridiculous. Blueyonders Telewest seems to be our only option however we didn’t want to get internet access from the same company as our telephone line for personal reasons which I won’t get into.
Does anyone have any valid suggestions are to what ISP would suit in terms of availability and price range. We can only afford £30 per month maximum, and would preferably need a 1mb connection.
Thanks, Darren
