I did think BT Surftime was going to be a dead duck but hopefully Demon will be the first of many "Decent ISP's to enrol.
Contrary to most peoples experiences I find BT the most reliable of the Free ISP's (1st time connect every time & no disco's for the 2 hour time limit) but high latency times mean it's next to useless for gaming
Wish I had Saw's experiences with RHA. Once I connect it's great although I generally find connect's of 46+ to be unreliable. If I see I am connected at about 42K It's usually fine, but getting a connection?..... Crap! I frequently see "Dialing attempt 75+" before getting online, But it is getting better
Like life in general you get what you pay for. I still use the likes of "strayduck" & "IC24" - (1p per min), for Ladder Duels and Scenarios etc because at the moment they are still streaks ahead (Both in speed and quality of connection) of any of the "free" ISP's (In my opinion).
It's a steep learning curve for all the free ISP's in the UK at the moment and I am sure our American friends still pay for thier connection in most cases. A lot of the ISP's jumping on the band-wagon won't be around in 12 months or so, But hopefully the ones that are left will at least provide a decent service.
As a side issue..... And as this is aimed at the UK
Anyone else planning on going to Duxford for the "Flying Legends" Warbirds show? I'm taking my dad (76th B'day pressie) on the Sunday - Anyone else???
