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.
