Carbheat, assuming you have a BT speedway ISDN card, Freeserve have just upgraded their connection so I now get a peak download speed of around 23Kb for webpages from a single line. Unlimited acces is cheap too, and the connection has improved beyond recognition since the bad days of late last year. May be of interest to you - I cant get broadband either
Also, the card is made by AVM. (www.avm.de) and they have upgraded the software which BT havent and now include new compression.
Speedy sufin' !
