"ISP's" - what does that mean?

Internet Service Providers

From what i noticed a while back when looking for someone BT seemed the best....

Mark51^p · 22nd September 2007, 04:18

and also the most expensive. the cheapest BT one is £8.95 for the first 3 month then £17.99 for the other 15 month.

i was looking at other providers but dont really understand them. at the minute my phone line is with BT which is £12.50 a month, the other providers say like £9.99 per month for the internet without the line rental so does that mean i have to pay the extra line rental or is this included in the phone line bill of £12.50??????????????????

Mark51^p · 22nd September 2007, 05:34

MAS · 22nd September 2007, 05:35

Mark51^p · 22nd September 2007, 05:36

Mark51^p · 22nd September 2007, 05:45

so would i not be better off getting another compnay that charges £9.99 for broadband and paying the BT line rental from BT?

also would i just pay the same line rental charges from BT as i am doing now for the phone line?
