Well I was with Demon and I found that they were getting far too big!

As a Mac user their tech support was none exhistant.
The final crunch came when I had to send a picture file to an important art
director only to find the system down due to a technical failure!
I had to copy it onto a disk and take the tube ....hardly high tech stuff!
I found Dircon who are �25 per year cheaper and give me 20mg of webspace.
ALL their tech staff are Mac trained and the only time the system was down when
I tried to connect in the last 6 months they had the decency to put a recorded
on the spot message announcing a problem and that it was being delt with - no
waiting to get through, only to find it wasn't my machine at fault!

I see that Dircon are a recommended direct internet access on the iMac!

Thank you Dircon.
