Advantages: None

Disadvantages: unreliable would be an understatement

Nationwide's ISP is rather like their financial service provision - unreliable.

Around a year ago (early spring 2000), I signed up to their ISP as I was informed by a staff member that this would enable me to access their online bankinag facility. Due to the ISP market at the time being (more or less) 0845 dial up's, at least I would have something a little extra usefulness. I should have known better than with Nationwide. Firstly, the software disk was corrupted and could not be used, resulting in a lot of work removing the software (most of these so-called free ISP's purposefully have the uninstall feature disabled, which is naughty). As I picked up two disks (a wise move), I got online with them albeit briefly as during the sign up process, a number of those java error message pages appeared in my browser.

Typical, really.
