    Dial-up internet access without a BT line

    Does anyone know of a company that provides dial-up internet access to non-BT lines?

    A friend has decided to sign-up to Carphone Warehouse's free broadband package. Carphone tell her that unfortunately they will have to wait until August to get their broadband connected. Normally this would not be a problem (they are not heavy users of the internet anyway), but no-one out there seems to offer dial up access to anyone without a BT line! (They now have a TalkTalk line.)

    Carphone have said that the rollout of broadband is slow, but they themselves have closed their dial-up service to new customers.

    Any ideas would be appreciated. (I hope I haven't missed something obvious!)

    Haven't tried it myself but looked at it when I moved into a new flat as an interim solution. There's no mention of any requirement for a BT line (that I could see). If you do try it, let me know what it's like.

        Wanadoo is now part of Orange I think - http://www.orange.co.uk

        Anyway, their pay as you go dial up works on cable phones so presumably will work with other non-BT lines.
