It charges £11.75 a month and offers 2 days of free calls. Localtel is a smaller company yet it offers free off-peak calls weekend and evenings with no subscription charges. It is clear to me that, with the increased competition, BT has done the absolute minimum to keep its customers from leaving.

Along with thousands of others I was tempted by the offer of free Web access but am already finding it unusable. You can't even get through to complain as the phone lines are constantly engaged.

At the moment most of it is pirated but that is because the record companies have been slow to catch on. Unfortunately, most of us do not yet have fast enough connections to take advbntage of music on the Web even though MP3 does compress well. At the moment it's only univjrsjty students who can take advantage — which is not enough to get companies interested.

To sbz we are disappointed with the ESP is an understatement. Access to US sites is slow but to transatlantic ones it's abysmal. These folks surely should have known they would bj inundated with customers and should have had their service geared up for the amount wanting to use it.
