What is unmetered dialup?
Unmetered dialup is where an internet dialup user can
connect to the internet using an analogue or ISDN BT
line and pay a fixed monthly charge with no additional
call charges (Subject to AUP). |
|
Is this available from cable telephone lines?
No you need one of the following products from BT. Standard
analogue PSTN line, ISDN 2 or ISDN 30. |
|
How long does this take to activate?
The unmetered dialup is available to use from the moment
you order it. For example if you place an order using
this site now
you can immediately disconnect your modem and reconnect
using the new unmetered account. An exception to this
is when you pay
by cheque, where the account is activated once we have
received your cheque. |

What unmetered products are available?
We offer a number of different packages aimed at both
home and business users. Certain packages are restricted
to certain times of the day or week, also different
contention ratios can apply. |
|
What are contention ratios?
Contention ratio refers to the number of other unmetered
users that a particular user will share a modem at
the ISP with. The
lower the contention ratio the more likely an uninterrupted
service will be experienced. Unlike ADSL contention
ratios which
refer to bandwidth unmetered contention ratios refer
to modems.
