    PAYG Dial-up account

    I'm looking for a simple PAYG Dial-up account for occasional use at a place where Broadband is not available.

    Does anyone have a ISP that they would recommend for dial-up Internet access?

    Many thanks.

    I've used them too in the past in an emergency.
    Always seem to be reliable
