Freeserve. Picked the CD up in Dixon’s to install the necessary software back in about 96-97ish. Good old 56k dial up with my parents shouting for me to get off that bloody computer as they needed to use the phone line.
First broadband provider was Plusnet in about 2005ish.
Moved to Zen once Plusnet became slower than 56k after a few years.
Then to BT fibre, then to Sky fibre once my new customer deal expired and then back to BT fibre for the same reason.
And here i am.0 -
