Advantages: Fairly cheap, reasonably reliable

Disadvantages: price keeps going up, can be slow

I chose to use btinternet as my ISP when I got my computer just over a year ago. I have a BT phone line so I thought it would make things easier. I decided to get a surf package which allows me to surf from 6pm-8am and all day at the weekends. However, the price has gone up twice in the last year, and I have a feeling BT would rather we all surfed 'Anytime'.
It is a bit slow, but it's easier getting straight online than it was when I first got the computer. The e-mail sometimes goes a bit wonky, but there's a freephone number to check the status.
The technical help is expensive, but on the one occasion I did need to phone, they were very helpful.
Although most of the year (I'm a lecturer) Surftime is fine for me, I'm wondering about having to pay to get online during the day when we have our 6 week Summer holiday. It would be great if BT could offer temporary 'Anytime' packages for those kind of occasions.

Hmm, I'm with BTinternet and the two hour cutoff period gets me down bigtime.
Just a "useful" rating I'm afraid, if you add any more detail let me know and I'll happily re-rate.
