Yes, But don't go with BT, AOL. Use Freeserve, I've never had a problem with them.

it depends what cable is in your area.. if u ant got NTL in your area then you arnt geting cable with them.. same BY, goto both websites and you should be able to put you postcode in and it will tell you if they are in your area


im no big fan of DSL but if thats all you can get, dont bother with ISDN!

im on NTL and i have no problams with it what so ever (1mb con) been with ntl for over 2 years with there cable modem service if you are ina 'trouble free' area then its as good as anyone else... if on the other hand you are in a 'bad' area then u might as well go for something else, but thats also the same for adsl and blueyonder, good areas bad areas ;)



goto www.nthellworld.com sign up there and ask if anyones in your area and if they have any problems with it( providing you can get NTL ofcourse)

DSL and Cable are equal. T1 - T3 are better.

Of coures you can actually get T1 or T3 as you know it in the UK only E1 and E3 (lets not get our terms mixed up) but only if you are willing to fork out a fortune ;)

im on telewest blueyonder,
still havn't been charged for it since installation in october!
its supposed to be £25 a month, i just hope i dont get a massive bill soon.
im just surprised that they haven't picked up on it yet as i also get cable tv and telephone from them.

anyone else been in this situation, i'm just curious if they've had a huge bill sprung on them?
