I had moved from Zetnet to use of Callnet800, then was using Freeserve and
BT Internet in parallel for my many hours online (using CTM 2000, a dial-
up connection controller, while it was in beta) but BT pushed me onto that
"heavy user" dial-up number (when most connections were made using FS !),
and final straw came when I had some major problems with connecting to 
Zetnet after some new release and I decided not to stick with it as 
there were other offers around...  soon after I got HH in autumn 2001, 
FS offered me a "wires only" trial at 29.99/month and I was happy for 2002
but later wanted a fixed IP and added PlusNet in 2003, and am still happy.

I think I might have seen that price which put me off dealing with them 
for any domains at all.  Lots of things seemed more costly with them but
most users were pretty loyal and didn't grumble too much.  Overall I must
wish them well, but things are tough for any smaller ISPs these days that
are unable to compete on price, unless they offer a lot of 'value added'
that allows one to justify them as being of 'acceptable' cost. Peter M

PlusNet - <http://tinyurl.com/24ymz> - recommend it and save a little cash
Depends on account that is opened by new customer, but good value ISP IMO.
