Answer 1

I still have a wanadoo dial up pay as you go. It would be orange now. I checked for you- On the orange website you can still have ordinary dial up (it stays alive with your E-mail addresses if you dont leave it more than 90 days) or anytime if you pay.

Answer 2

Not sure, but me and my boyfriend went into Wetherspoons with his laptop the other day as they have started doing free internet for half an hour wi-fi, and you pay for additional time, and the browser automatically opened up to a company called "The Cloud" (which is who wetherspoons are using) which had various charges for short-term uses (half an hour, 2 hours, etc). I don't know whether "The Cloud" just do business internet usage or if they also do home usage as well, but it may be worth a look. I would imagine there would be similar companies out there also.

Answer 3

Hi,

I was on dial-up awaiting my new broadband connection and I used Tiscali Dial-up. I found them the best, but keep an eye on the internet charges as it 4p per minute peak, 2p per minute off-peak and 1p per minute all weekend. Do NOT use Supanet, they are a rip-off and end up charging you about £3.50 per hour.
