Virgin dialup PAYG ISP or can you recommend a better one please?

Anyone having problems with its speed lately?

I set it up for a friend who was looking for something very cheap (3.5/1p per min) to access email and search on web. It was working fine when I set it very late evening, but now they tell me it was very slow over the weekend.

Or can you recommend another cheap dial up ISP (not broadband).

Cheers

Thanks Craig, I had thought about uk2, but heard bad stories and was told not to bother with them.

I would`nt go anywhere near UK2.. I used them a couple of years ago to buy domain names, as they were cheap. Then I had problems with my mail forwarding, which I used for business. They didn`t want to know about it. They only had email support, which took ages and in the mean time I was missing out on valuable business mail. I even had to pay them so I could move my domain to another provider. Stay well away!!! It might be cheap to start, but when things go wrong, you`ll wish u had paid a bit more....Check out www.adslguide.org, where u can compare providers. Although it is mainly for broadband, I`m sure the same companies will offer dial up too, and their ratings will give u a good idea of overall quality and price. Good luck..
