If you or your customers are not able to get
ADSL just yet, but are paying too much for 0845 access because you are using
the Internet for more than just occasional surfing, then you need to sign up
for Unmetered Dial-up.
This service provides access to the Internet
up to 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at a fixed monthly charge without
additional call charges. Unmetered dial-up comes with many options for weekend,
and 'off-peak' services depending on your customer's requirements.

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
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.
Why Do ISDN Packages Show Two
Different Online Time Left?
When you purchase a ISDN package you are
actually getting 2 ports to enable connection at 128k. As the radius server
will debit seconds for each channel we need to set the actual amount of online
time to double that quoted. If you connect at 64k or 56k then you are using
only one channel and that is why we give figures for one channel as well.
Can I connect to my account from
any BT telephone line?
No, you can only connect from the telephone
number you have registered with us.
Can I change my registered
telephone number?
Yes, but you are restricted to 2 changes per calendar
month.
What is the minimum contract
term?
The minimum contract term is one month.
Can I use your unmetered service
for a SMTP feed?
Yes, our unmetered dialup is compatible with SMTP
feed. You will need to order or upgrade to a fixed IP address. Additional DNS
and mail server configurations are needed and our support team can advise you
on the details.
