Thanks.

    It's actually quite easy. You can order broadband from any of the suppliers (I suggest moving as far from AOHell as possible). They will set it all up, send you all the bits, and you use dial-up till your sorted. Just try what used to be adslguide.org (can't remember the new name) and that will give you things like price, scores for customer services, setup times, etc.

    Good luck.

    https://www.thinkbroadband.com has all the info for comparing broadband ISPs.

    You can still use dialup any time now or even after switching over, but it would be wise to disconnect the dialup modem when not in use after BB is connected.
