    You said you have NTL at new property so I guess you're tied into them, & from the ones I've seen, other ISPs do stipulate a BT line. As it's pay as you go you're looking for. it shouldn't make a lot of difference if it's ntl providing it. Of course, BT are always keen to get old customers back so maybe you can get BT back in fairly cheaply & then you've got your pick of ISPs

    Hmmm, Telewest is now the same company as NTL & AOL wouldn't be my first choice in ISPs due to the software they inflict upon your PC.

    I don't want pay as you go as in you may each minute. Just no contract, for example fast4.net offers unlimited dial-up for £5 a month but only with a BT line.

    I'm not tied up by NTL as i have been out of contract for over 1 year now, so that gives me more bargaining power.

    It's not worth paying £10 a month for any kind of dial up service as you can get broadband for around that price these days.

    Oh and as for AOL...........nooooooooo, never again! They were terrible!

    Thanks for everyones feedback.
