BT in the UK who as the incumbent are the only provider of things like unmetered dialup..
I have a 19.99 a month unmetered dialup from Freeserve (based on FRIACO). There must be others.
i was avoiding going into detail as most ppl here are probably not that interested in the uk setup.. its complicated, energis, worldcom operate their own pstn friaco, there are also ways of buying it in at sufficient volume as isdn or modem terminated l2tp or buying ports on someone elses platform. but my generalisation is that there is a dominant player in this market who is dominant as they can offer things which the others cant afford to do !
