iWeb Change to Scottish Widows

Sorry to bring this thread back from the dead (though hopefully still salient topic).Would you say this is still a good idea for someone trading rarely but with bigger sums(5k or more)?
I was considering opening with iweb lately but I cant figure out the likelihood that SW wont substantially redesign the fee structure and make the platform less competitive. Is there any point to wait and see how it goes first?
Also, from experience,how long does it roughly take you to transfer SS ISA into iweb?

I've just had an email from iWeb and the change to Scottish Widows will happen on 18th OctRemember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.10

Interesting, I haven’t received anything.0

Mine came mid morning today, so guess they're batching them somehow0

Currently with Halifax for my S&S ISA, with a regular investment into 2 funds each month.Never looked into iWeb as at the time they had the upfront fee. Presumably, with no upfront or annual fee, and the free regular trading, I'd be better switching to iWeb/SW now? (Assuming they have the same 2 funds for me to do so)1

Well £0 pa is better than £36 and £5 trades are better than £9.50 so yesHalifax have fee free regular investing but so will Scottish Widows once it happensThey will almost certainly have your funds and one would hope that a transfer would be pretty seamless as behind the branding they are effectively the same2

Was just reading up on no cost regular investing option from an exchange traded instruments perspective. Obviously I could wait a couple of weeks (for the 18th), but I am intrigued if their zero cost regular investment option would include ETFs etc? There is little / no specifics qualifying the offer, but was just intrigued by peoples thoughts?Personal Responsibility - Sad but True
