Help with Broadband provider

Options
Hi
I'm a student and looking for the absolute minimum payment on broadband. This can include packages such a free installation and modem etc, but the main thing is that the monthly rates are extremely low.

I will maybe download approx 2gig a month if that.

Otherwise what is the cheapest 56k dialup service these days?

many thanks and any help would be fantastic.

    Don't think there is a dial-up comparison, but try https://www.fast4.net - I'm a user and very happy. There is a thread discussing this ISP at the top of the techie stuff forum. Currently they charge £6.99 per month, including cost of calls, that's for 24/7 and although it says unlimited, double check if you are going to be downloading masses of struff - no on second thoughts if you are going to be doing that - you definitely need broadband. ~Check the "cheapest broadband provider" thread.

    And the Boulevard’s white with clover,
    For you old faithful pal of mine.
    Giddy up old fella cos the moon is yellow tonight,
    Giddy up old fella cos the moon is mellow and bright,
    There’s a coyote crying at the moon above,
    Carry me back to the one I love,
    And you old faithful pal of mine.

    Hi, look at this website for dial up, 33 pages, !! http://www.net4nowt.com it also gives ratings from users, an excellent site, but takes a while ploughing through them all, fast4net seems the cheapest, but apparently is difficult to get on in the evenings!! regards and good luck oap ps I have not looked yet, but this site may also give broadband as well.
