Just got myself connected to 'thefreeinternet.com' I paid 50 quid inc the VAT for a year. When I can get connected - it takes abot 5-8 attempts at peak times, it seems ok. In spite of upgrading my modem, I still have difficulties sometimes with connection - thats on top of the times when the line is busy - Virgin was and is great but the phone bills - thats why I changed.
