being stuck on 56k due to locale,this looked like great news.

BUT..

No connection or time charges
means no money

Just your phone calls at local UK 0845 rates 1p/minute at weekends
means money and is a contradiction :?:

if theres a charge for the phone call then its not free,just a standard ISP deal for pay as you go.

Nope 0845 are local rate calls and at weekend are 1p per minute, O think its 4p per minute weekdays and 2p minute ater 7pm or similar, it depends on your telco provider.

I think your thinking of 0870 number...

And from my perspective its a FREE service to you, the call charges are between your telco provider and you. I dont chareg anything for the service.

And yes its a standard 'pay as you go' style deal. but not from a huge multinational conglomerate, who provide CD's to load goodness knows what on your PC to access it.

Still a god deal. 8)

Not really - As far as I'm concerned its a FREE service for anyone, what you pay for your calls is between you and your telco provider...

But I am organising an un-metered 56K dialup for a fixed monthly price.... should be better than BT's deal/time limits.

Dont be such a sceptic :)

Unfortunately at the moment it's cheaper for me to go with freeserve, since I can get a month for £15 or so, and I am connected far more than £45 a quarter. Back when I was using an 0845 dialup (the ISP I worked for) I was getting quarterly bills of £200+.
Plus, if you can find out the number, there's no need to install anything, thus I just have a text file with my freeserve info, and create my own dial-up connection.
If it weren't for the per minute charge I would love to get away from a big company. I guess I'm about to do something with satellite broadband though...
Prudent or not, once the scythe comes out, I'm probably gonna haul ass!

I know all about these things....... I run my own visp!

all what it is, is that you dial up a 0845 number, connect to the internet, it costs you local call rate - 5p connection, +1p a min, person running the visp gets commision! usually 1/2p per min wich is cool as you usually pay 20 quid a month for a server, and 1.50 a month for every gb of bandwidth, and on dial up you would get something like 100 quid through commision before you would get to pay for a full gb!

to tired to make this neat, hope you get the idea!
