I have just relocated from California to Ashford, Kent, in the UK. The house where I am living has a BT internet account, and it seems from their advertising material that you have to have windows or mac to use a BT account.
Can anyone recommend an reliable, affordable ISP in this area that allows linux connections?
If you want a standard dialup (pay per minute) connection, look at www.ukfsn.org - it's a non-profit ISP set up to support Free Software projects in the UK. Personally, I have an ISDN line, and I use unmetered dialup, using something called "Surftime" here in the UK. My ISP is Demon, for many reasons: o They offer Surftime, and they don't throw people off for over-use, like some ISPs (BT) have been doing. o Although they don't officially support Linux, they do have some Linux-aware support people if you're lucky o I've been a customer of theirs for about 7 years; this was before most of the current UK ISPs existed. -- David Smith Work Email: Dave.Smith@st.com STMicroelectronics Home Email: David.Smith@ds-electronics.co.uk Bristol, England GPG Key: 0xF13192F2
