Check the small print as some ISp's count your usgae minutes and will throw you off if you exceed a certain time limit per day.
Remember, this is a FRIACO (Fixed Rate Internet Access Call Origination) BT Wholesale product which is sold to ISP's by the Port and so the ISP has to contend the service (ie sell one port to 10-20 users) thus the customer will get told to get lost if they try and use it 24/7.
Please post up how you get on....for a list of ISP's to try contacting, you can't beat http://www.adslguide.org.uk

Hello
I used "Surftime" from BT along with Nildram and Demon. Both were pretty good and didn't really have any usage restrictions. It was costing around £40pm though (£20 for surftime / £20 for the ISP).

My company does a true unlimited service which we can do for single channel or dual channel ISDN. Want to stay connected for a year at a time? No problem. It's not cheap, though. E-mail me off board if you're interested as I don't want to be seen actively selling on the forum

Thanks Chaps
Rusty
The deal I'm on is 200 hours per month at 64K or 100 hours per month at 128K which I know I'm nowhere near. It's good value at £18 inc. VAT per monthe but if you can't access either mail server or the web server, it's a lot of money for 2 e-mail addresses.
Notorious I'll send you a mail later.
I'll let you know how it goes.
Cheers

I use freeserve anytime and have no problems. I connect by a router (dial on demanf) so wouldn't notice if I got the odd engaged tone - but would notice if the router couldnt connect for 30 secs or so and thast only happened once in 18 months
