[SLUG] Dial up packages

[Ian Eade at IGM Web Design]

Tiscali (and Freeserve) is not an option as they banned me shortly after
signing up for "overuse of their service"

Trouble is the phone lines round here won't take Broadband so I am stuck
with 56k dialup, looks like I'll have to move to a place which is Broadband
capable, Northway maybe?

I have Tiscali.  Fairly reliable, and they haven't bothered to bill me for a
year either!  Then after numerous phone calls (don't wanna go on a credit
blacklist through their mess ups) they eventually did take 2 months worth of
fees...

With the IT industry the way it is, how can they afford NOT to bill their
customers?  Anyway, besides it being hard to make them take your hard earned
cash, Tiscali are fine by me.  I used Lineone back in the day (before the
times of so called "unmetered" deals).

Later,

Jonathan
