Yes but...

DIAL-UP only!


Really helpful.

And really bland uninformative site -- sorry, but it doesn't inspire confidence.

In fact, no telephone number or address... hmmm.

Its exactly the same as a load of sites that offer dial up.. (like UK2 comes to mind) they have huge contention ratios and as a result are very slow.

Nothing especailly mac friendly about a dial up number and account details...

Actually, the suggestion that Apple users need special ISPs, or else Internet access won't work with Mac OS (X) is rather Mac-unfriendly...

Yeah, I agree completely. Special 'Mac friendly' things for standard items like blimin' dial up suggest that Mac's have special compatibility issues, which only serves to furthers the misconception that a Mac is a niche product rather than a viable alternative.

Crap website, crap service, nothing "Apple" about it at all...

Apple's revolutionary Mac OS X is delightful OS, but unfortunately many UK ISP's do not support it.

"support" in this case probably means technical support, in case anything goes wrong. I know a couple of ISPs that don't offer support for the Mac, even though you get an internet connection just fine.

alot of isp's support macs now, i have used several. Why is this a big deal especially considering that its only dial up?
