Roco Posted May 17, 2012 CID Share Posted May 17, 2012 Hold on guy's it ain't free , it's a lo-cal number , the only free bit is in like no contract , 0845 numbers , works out at around $2.88 per hour , for sub 56K , dial up still used in the UK , cheaper than posting a letter , I got several friends that only go online every other day or so just to check emails , and yes I got a no contract dial up in reserve on my box , just in case the fibre goes down , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No CA3LE i dont have a way of dialing in (FOR FREE) I wonder about the security (privacy) on a network like this... THEY HAVE YOU BY THE BALLS!! (They can watch anything you do (since its free)) I dosn't work like that in the UK , no # is free . apart from emergency , somebody has to pay our national provider for the line use , sure sales companies have a "Free # " they pay for the call , I can't see any internet provider making a living paying for your online time their profit comes from renting the line at trade price , and charging you at retail , as it said "All you pay is the cost of a normal local rate phone call for the duration you are online. This means you can easily control the amount you spend and don't have to worry about subscription fees or contracts" indeed thats so , that works out at $2.88 per hour , and the Subs fees and contracts is total balls there never was for dial up , I could pick and choose from a hundred or so dial up providers , I use Virgin , have used care4free , Firetrust ,and others , all registered charities , although Dial up is a thing of the past , 90% of the UK will have 20x5 by 2015, only making the point in case any UK member decides to use the service , and dosn't read the small print , (it's happened in the past , ) getting a $600 bill at the end of the month ain't funny, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
