I'm on AOL myself and pay a yearly fee (about 150 pounds a year)
for totally unlimited access. I can access it from my NTL line in my
home office and from BT at work.
I keep hearing people say things like - 'oh I only pay a fiver a month
for unlimited access'. But when I look into it there always seems to be
a catch like having to spend so much a month on voice calls etc.
Is anyone getting a really good deal for unlimited access?

Andrew,saw this hanging up all afternoon with no response,so had to
respond.
I'm with freeserve £12.99/month the complete package,so I guess
that's the same charge you have.
Maybe if you had put your post to verse you would have had a more
wider and more informative response.
best wishes,lyn.
I'm on ntlworld broadband at the moment, and I really advise it to anyone
thinking of getting a broadband connection. Basically, we've got a home network
of 4 computers, and I've set up internet connection sharing on mine, so all 4
of us have it 24/7. (mine's always on). It is a lot more money (£40 a month,
digatal tv included), but I think it is worth it, especially as we use it so
much. And it's 512 kbps, so most of my downloads run at 50-60 kilobytes a
second, about 10 times faster than modems. (I never understand why modems, etc,
quote kilobits a second, while everything else uses kilobytes a second).
Combined, I think our household has about 5 gigs of mp3's 😉. We've also
basically had _no_ downtime, connection problems, so the service is pretty good,
don't know about customer support, because we've not had to ring them in 6
months 🙂.
Yeah, I'd be there if NTL would get off their shiny metal ass and roll out
broadband down here.
I don't have a bad deal now though - NTL dialup (on an NTL line, different setup
for NTL on an BT line, I think). I've had free dialup (0800 number) for the
past 6 months, no fee, no catch.
They've started charging £10/month now, but to stop me getting ratty, I get it
for £5 for the next 6 months (plus a £20 virgin wine voucher for signing up).
They better have broadband out by then, or I'm off to BT for ADSL.
