Cheap dialup evening package

My sister was recently with Tesco anytime (dial up) for £12.50 a month but we cancelled due the high price.

Is there a provider which offers access after 6pm for a good rate? I am thinking of between £5 and £8 would qualify as good.

Thanks

    Tesco run off the back of Virgin.Net which is £12.49 per month, I am in the same boat I would like one of those off peak services but they are very rare at the moment.

    The BBC do a off peak evenings and weekends package, this is priced at £9.99 per month http://www.beeb.net/ by all accounts a pretty stable good service.

    Not sure if anyone here has used them I never have as I am on virgin, for that extra £2.50 I can use the net anytime.

    Been with them for two and a half years and if I could find better or cheaper for dial-up, I would.

    I second Alared on this. Fast 4 at £6.99 per month give you 24/7 so day or evening, free connection, e-mail etc.
    Just make sure you pay by Direct Debit on your bank (easy to cancel if you want to change ISPs.). Don't bother with a 1p per minute hook-up, you will soon be over £6.99 per month.
