I'm looking for a UK ISP that has 64K ISDN peak access at all times,
but allows 128K access off-peak. Doesn't have to have Email, but must
be 24/7 and have web space.

I've tried searching on net4nowt, but it doesn't seem to be as easy as
it used to be since they changed the site about.
Can anyone help?

Cheers

I don't think there is such a beast, I'd love exactly the same but I
really don't believe it exists. Actually I don't even need the web
space, just connection to the internet. (BT's Midband would be sort
of OK'ish but I don't have a BT line so that's out)

Yes, searching for specific requirements is rather difficult now isn't
it. www.ispreview.co.uk is possibly a bit better.

Thanks for the comments and the site. What I've decided to do is to
sign up for another 64k Unmetered ISP (I'm leaving freeserve because of
all the spam and my email address is now ISP-independent) and I'm also
going to sign up for an 0845 128K connection, which I shall only use
infrequently in the evenings and weekends when I want to download
something a bit bigger than email or newsgroups.....

I have a FreeServe anytime account at the moment and the Freeserve
E-Mail address (which I don't use) gets no spam at all. The major
source of spam is any E-Mail address that appears on a web page
somewhere, then a distant second is E-Mail addresses shown on
newsgroups. I don't hide my E-Mail address here and get *very* little
junk mail to this address.

Yes, I think that's probably the only way to get something reasonable.
I've been thinking of going for an anytime 64k account and an off
peak 128k one. Will a 128k 0845 account really be worth it,
wouldn't it still be cheaper to use the 64k one for longer?

I use a 24/7 64k account with one.tel (15/month) and then bt midband
for 75 hours of 128k connection anytime (10/month) and i am very happy
with it.

128k is great, but 64k is plenty enough for me if im not gaming, plus
you get the 2nd line free for phone calls.
