Is this the cheapest ISP?

Take a look at this http://www.fast4.net/faq.htm

is this the cheapest or what

[Newt]

Do you really want to roll yourself back to a dial-up connection?

I thought the question was

"Is this the cheapest?"

I'd be interested to know if anyone has experience of this lot. I still use a dial-up and pay 45 quid per month

No way to say unless you specify if you are calculating cost per Mbps or gross cost.

 

And business or personal since if business, gotta calculate against the salary of the person(s) using it and see if dialing time, connecting time, download speed, etc. make it cost effective.

 

And I didn't examine closely but is there any limit on hours/month connected? If so, figure that in as well.

 

Possibly to be completely fair, you should also calculate costs of medical care needed because of connection-speed stress with dial-up. And possibly loss of lifetime income if the user is stressed enough to die early.

 

And welcome back Liam. Missed your deathless prose while you were (wherever?).

Ta Newt,

& It's good to see you're still not missing any opportunities to answer simple questions with endless, waffily, OTT, googlestimates. (oops guestimates)

 

But on a positive side,

It's fair to consider that most people won't die of stress realted illnesses, now that good ol' america have started their regime of preventative measures?

You should come to a modern forward thinking country - like Wales (West wales that is).

They think that Broadband is something you find at the top of your pants. It's dial up or nothing for some of us. Regardless of connection speeds, I still can't type any faster.

Peter - unless you live deep underground, you should be able to get satellite service.

 

Take a look Here for information and links.

Satellite? Is that space and stuff?
