Depends on which funds you invest in and how long you keep them for, but you don't need six figure investments for Fidelity to be marginly cheaper (when I did the figures - maybe it has changed recently).
I actually use Hargreaves Lansdown for my SIPP and Fidelity for ISAs so all my eggs aren't in the same basket.

Ive not had a stock and share ISA before I understand how they work but just wondered should I be able to login on to the ISA providers site and see my ISA's current position there and then ? Any recommendations.

You get refunds on renewal commission if you go via Cavendish rather than direct to Fidelity.
You can monitor everything online.

Ask them to open you a Stocks and Shares Mini ISA account.
You can track all your funds, from current and previous years, on the same page with prices updated daily.
Huge choice of funds, with big discounts on the "official" fund purchase charges.
Most IFAs will advise you start with something like a FTSE Tracker fund.
While OK in a bull market things are going to be volatile this coming year, so you're probably better off with something mega cautious/defensive (have a search for JPM Cautious Total Return).
As your total pot grows over time you'll be able to spread or "de-worsify" into maybe 5 or 6 funds. Last years big winners don't always repeat their performance, so be wary of bunging it all into China.
Going forward in a volatile market its best to drip feed monthly payments in to take advantage of "pound-cost-averaging", although you're a bit limited for the 07/08 tax year.
Also check out http://www.moneyweek.com/ before diving into any riskier funds, they're a bearish lot, but come out with some decent advice (i.e. gold, oil and alternative energy funds) on what to go for, and avoid.

Not looked at it for a few years now, but I made a tidy sum on fidelity's special situation fund a few years back.
I wouldn't advise you to put your money in it right now (as it was one of the riskier funds) however fidelity seem to have a decent range of funds and are definetly worth a look.
