Launched in May 1999 by Paul Hillbeck and joined by the Intelligent Internet Consultancy one month later, the home page opens up with a mid blue background with white text and a centre square in a darker blue also with the article headings in white and the first few words of the article in a grey colour. With the font size defined as size 2 the letters are too small for comfortable reading but nonetheless what is behind the links is what matters.
This is the site where you can find out about hundreds of ISP’s and what they offer and what it costs you the customer. Behind the Free 0845 ISP’s list link are details of free 0845 ISP’s in a series of A to Z pages.
A similar link, which is likely to be the most useful, is the list of unmetered ISP’s with other links for Broadband, Subscription and even Virtual ISP’s.
Make your selection and you are faced with the same coloured page with a darker centre table, still in size 2 font and in white, that lists the first 20 ISP’s with a link to the subsequent ones, if there are any. The first column gives the name of the ISP in that section and is also a link to that ISP’s home page. The next 12 columns detail, E-mail Address Provided - Web Space Provided - News Groups Support - Telephone Support Costs - Installation Cost - Cost Per Month - Cost Per Year - V90 - 64K - 128K - Times of Free Access and Extra Information which links to a separate page with that information.
Of the detail pages that I have accessed the information in them has been sparse but that is because you have to sign up to that server to get most of those details. So I’m sure that the webmaster would welcome some input from users about their own ISP.
However, overall there is enough information to enable a person to make their selection and initiate their own enquiries from the ISP of their choice.
Rather than having to trawl through hundreds of ISP’s, the site thoughtfully provides a search facility. The very good search engine asks just three questions, how much per month you are willing to pay, connection speed, and whether you require a metered or unmetered service. The list within the set parameters appears within a second or two.
This is one site to bookmark and visit once a month or so to keep abreast of developments because you may well be satisfied with your current ISP but as people have found out, things change and often not always for the better.
Advantages: Easy to find information, constantly updated Disadvantages: Nasty blue background
Looking for ideas on your next ISP?
Look no further that http://www.net4nowt.com. An online directory of free ISPs, which has become almost essential in today's ever changing world of FRIACO, pay as you surf and even ADSL lines.
So what is Net4Nowt?
Basically, it's a directory of free ISPs. Divided up into 0845 dialups, subscription offerings where you pay a monthly fee for your 0800 number, Net4Nowt is an essential guide to making that choice.
... ...laid out, quick and easy to navigate. All the information is displayed in table, with information such as the price, times of access and if it's available on a non-BT line. The tabular format allows you quick and easy comparisons with other ISPs, allowing you to get an idea of price and availability. It also links to actual user reviews so you can see exactly what the users have to say - if it's rubbish, with constant engaged tones, you'll find out ...

Advantages: lots of info ,good customer feedback Disadvantages: none
I didnt know which category to put this opinion(no wisecracks),so I have decided directories because I guess thats what it is.
Net4nowt lists all the current deals the numerous isp,s are offering at present.
But more than this it lists prices, availability and the best bit of all it gives you the consumer a chance to tell them what you think of the service you have been receiving from your isp.Along side each listing is your chance to comment on ... ...This makes very interesting reading and from some of the comments about some of the companies it appears many of you out there in internet land are far from happy with your isp,s.
Currently there are listings and opinions on 245 i.s.p`s and there are separated firstly alphabetically and then by unmetered or 0845 call charges.
There is also a news section with all the latest in internet and computer news.Also a help page ,a newsletter that you can ...
