Are there any good internet providers in the UK who don’t just insist on credit cards for payment? I am having terrible problems with my current one, they won’t answer my queries and take no notice of the information I gave them when I registered. Freeserve, BT Openworld and AOL are not an option, and neither is WHSmithnet (my current one).

I’m using NTLWorld Dialup services (or based on Coanda’s response, NTHell!).
They once offered a free 24/7 service for NTL phone customers, this then went to £5 and is now £10. I think broadband with NTL is something I will most certainly not consider!

i’m with aohell, i believe that you can have the payment method changed once your signed up…..

Hiya comet. Yeah that seems to be one of the main problems with telewest, its not aviliable in all areas of the UK.
Happy hunting, I hope you get a good deal. 🙂

Thanks
Thanks for the suggestions guys. I’ve been onto Telewest about blueyonder, and I’ve been told it’s not available in my area (north east Yorkshire). I also checked out Virgin, I like the sound of some of their offers, I’m into the off peak/daytime idea, the current provider has 8am-4pm daily for £4.99 a month, but they are not very good – email queries ignored but I won’t go into all the gory details here!!

I’m with Virgin Net, on their broadband at £27.99 a month.
They also do a dial up at £13.50 last time I checked, had no problems, seem pretty good to me.

Hi Comet. I too am on Blueyonder. Currently have the broadband service which they offer. £25 a month, is what is currently being paid, and this allows 24/7 use of the internet.

Comet.
I’m on blueyonder from telewest as well. Service for me is good. Rare breakdowns, two in eighteen months, and I’m on a dial-up connection. It’s about £14 a month but there are various offers whereby you get free line rental or some such. If it’s available in your area it might be worth considering.
