Sign-up is free, but you still have to pay local call charges. I consistently get a good fast connection and have had no problems at all - well except that e-mails seem to be a bit iffy for the first 48 hours after singing up. You can sing-up on line at www.dabsol.co.uk. The service is offered by Dabs Direct (www.dabs.co.uk) who I order most of my computer bits and pieces from and in general I'm very impressed with the company. I know this sounds like an advertisement, but I have no connection with this company other than the fact that I'm a very satisfied customer.
