Dial up internet

sloughflint

I've had broadband so long now that I've forgotten how to set up dial up for when I am staying at relatives and which ISP to use.
Suggestions please?
TIA

Does your BB ISP have a free dial-up back up service that you could use? Otherwise it will cost you so much per minute to use a service like this.

When I went for a temp job back at uni, I was only staying for two months but as a member of the university I could access their own dial up service, this had an actual geographic number, so combine that with a 1899 prefix or whatever your favourite override number and 3-4p for hours of internet connection. Can't think of any cheaper way, and this was obviously specific to my situation but it's worth looking at every possiblity available to you.

Hi espresso,
Tried this one. It took forever trying to connect (encouraging modem noise but nothing for 30 secs so disconnected)
Any other good dialup ISP's out there?

Can't personally recommend any but if you enter free dial up into google many come up. Here is another one to try.
