NTL's deal is that you rent a line. £5.50 a month. and then you get 0800 dialup to the Net.However... although they don't actually *say* this.. it pretty much hangs on you having a regular phone line, PLUS a 2nd line.
I've had a single line plus TV etc from them for about 2 years. and registered for the dialup software. Nothing came through.. then once I took advantage of a special deal on installation of 2nd line.. Bingo! here comes the software all of a sudden..
Anyhoo... still have to get it set up, kept on timing me out last night when I was setting up.
Cheers all
