Would anyone here switch ISP's, if they could get limited unmetered access, at a great price, where you choose your number of hours you want that you dont have to pay for on pay as you go?

I would.... so what price would anyone put on 100, 200, and 300 hours worth of unmetered access? I would put it at around 7, 8, and 11 (all GBP) respectfully... anyone have any ideas? This is what I think will make the ultimate ISP, the low cost part - why pay more, and you use it less?

You really do use the internet alot then! ADSL is my ultimate goal, but I will need to have enough subscribers though, before I can launch such a low cost service.

Pre register for low cost metered internet access, and dont pay pay as you go rates. We don't won't even charge a subscribtion fee!

Actually I worked out that on an average week month I use it 316 hours. If I was at home all day every day for 4 weeks I would use it for about 14 hours a day, which is nearly 400 hours a month. Good job I have unlimited ADSL internet then.

I know that £15.99 is a little expensive, but thats really for if you use the internet for over 300 hours a month - which is over 9.68 hours a day. Surely hardly anyone users it greater than 300 hours, but i'm offering it to those people that do. I would advise people to go for the other packages really, as you will save more money - espeacially if you just check your email, and you are using an unlimited anytime package - you could save around £7 a month, or £84 a year - think of what you can buy instead with all that money.....

Er, wtf? AOL are the *only* ISP to do always-on and they are *crap*. My ISP wants £99/m for 24-7. £15.99 for garaunteed "we won't cancel your account" is not only damn good, it's unique.

Yeah thats what I thought.

Most 512k connections can be found at £25-30 and some even lower. £15.99 for the unlimited for 56/64 K connections is too much. AOL and other leading ISP's do it for £14.99 or some even less.

I'm getting NTL 128k on Monday...

£15 a month and I don't need to subscribe to any of their packages!

Not bad!

As long as they are as keen to help me with any problems as tehy are to sign me up I'll be laughing!

3 letters, 4 phonecalls, 1 visit and it doesn't get installed until Monday!

And before you ask, we're paying £13 for Freeserve now so my Dad doesn't wanna pay anymore but for £15 and the fact that I free up our 1 phoneline, well, it's rather good!
