What should I be paying for Internet access?

[Adamant]

Bought the computer and got myself onto the Internet via btclick.com (talk21.com e-mail address). I pay the local call charge applicable to the time of day, but no other charges. At the moment, I need access to the Internet during peak times as well as evenings and weekends.

I'm new to all this and know NOTHING about it, but I do know that my first 'phone bill was larger than I wanted it to be. I know that it's possible to pay a monthly charge to use a freephone number. What's the best kind of deal to go for?

Can anyone help a total and utter novice?

Thanks in advance.
