Help needed - 'phone providers

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Unofficial Newcastle United Football Club BBS : One Thread

We've had our telephone and ISP from WorldOnline for a couple of years which has been excellent. But they've been taken over and the new company won't provide the 'phone service.

Any recommendations as to which is the best 'phone company to go with? We were thinking about BT Surftime - anybody use this?

I use BT Anytime, which is a second line in the house and gives 24 hour internet access for £15 a month

I swear by NTL. "F***ing b****rd NTL" you'll often hear me say. :-)

Seriously I'm very pleased with their service. Unmetered access and provided you put £10 of normal phone calls through NTL per month then there is no charge for the internet service. No need to have cable - you can continue with your existing BT line. The sole disadvantage for me with my laptop and nomadic lifestyle, is that you can only use the service from one nominated landline. Not a problem for many people I guess.
