Dial-up internet offers

I want to sign-up to Dialup internet anytime today. I only got a Virgin media phone line(cable).
AOL has a offer of 1 month free, but do I require to install using a CD. Is there any other provider giving a good offer for 1st month???. BT-Yahoo costs only £1 for first month, but can't use virgin media line for it.

Sorry, after re-reading your post I realise you are after an ANYTIME dial-up product. Only AOL and Virgin themselves can offer this via a virgin media line. I have left the post below as info for a pay-as-you-go route.
Pay-As-You-Go dial up directly on a virgin media line can be painfully more expensive as 0844 and 0845 calls tend to be much more than BT, and also have a 6p connection fee.
If you join the phone co-op, then on your virgin media line you can access 0845 dial-up internet for 3.95p/min peak and 1p/min off peak with no connection fee. There are hundreds of 0845 ISPs you could choose - you may as well use the phone co-op's own service (Co-OpTel) so you only end up with one point of contact - but if you have an exisiting provider you may as well keep using them.
