Does anyone know of any ISPs around, that use an 0800 (or similar) number for ISDN access, that ARE NOT connected with the BT surftime system?

If so, any ideas on the monthly cost?

Cheers.

We use the net at least 120 hours a month (and that's a conservative guess)

cheers, I'll take a look.

Keep 'em coming.

Who's your telco provider? I ask because I got HH through BT. Works OK but there's 2 issues:

1. You need an ISP who has an 0808 access number to get best value for money.
2. They seem to be few and far between.

We can't get ADSL where we live so ISDN is the next best thing. Maybe there's a better way to get ISDN other than through BT?

BT OpenWorld Anytime and Freeserve Anytime are non Surftime products.

They bill via credit card, no charges go to your phone bill.

Edit to say...

I used OpenWorld Anytime for many months (18 or more IIRC) on 64k HH ISDN. In fact, my Dad still uses my account and old ISDN router.
