UK2.net have a somewhat "interesting" reputation, so I wouldn't necessarily rush into their arms.
You might look for a Broadband account that gives you dialup facility as well. Netscalibur <http://www.netscalibur.co.uk> offer this sort of thing. It will allow you to use broadband from your fixed point and dial in on their standard number as well. There are probably other ISPs offering a similar service.

Hi Simon
If you're working from a fixed point most of the time then obviously some
form of broadband is the way to go. I also occasionally need to dial in to
the web remotely, and set up an account with uk2.net, which is a pay as you
go thing, so you just dial in and pay an (I think) 0845 charge on the call
for its duration. For the amount I use it, its ideal, tho' if you're doing
more something more robust with monthly charges might be better. Works for
me tho'. Also, I think it'd be easy to use with a pda if you were into that
sort of thing...
Hope that helps.

Hi List
Does anyone have any experience of this? - hopefully its not too o/t
My internet account is currently with Globalnet on the 'pay as you go' basis
ie its the cost of a local rate phone call plus �30 per quarter.
The reason I went down this road was that it allows me to dial in from any
phone which is useful if I have to wire in from the site of the job.
However my bisuiness has changed slightly, I am now spending more time on
the net and want to move to an 'anytime' monthly contract.
The Globalnet anytime system dictates you must specify a phone number so if
I go down this route I wont be able to email on the move - unless I run two
accounts and incur two charges.....
So my question is - is there an ISP that will allow me anytime access but
still let me use the internet via my mobile?
Thanks in advance
