Seraching for free internet provider in Scotland for analog modem

[rbroer]

Here in the Netherlands, the former (only) national Telecom provider KPN, offers a free internet service for modem users.
You just call a fixed telephone number, username is kpn, no password and of you go. The rates are a tad better than local calls.

Is there something similar in the UK, or better Aberdeen/Scotland ?

I'm building a computer for my Scottish mother in law who lives in Aberdeen and bringing it over in May.
Her current computer has failed, but she was paying (sick) for a modem dial up connection, but of course all info is gone; she can't give me any info (provider, number, account info).

Would be great to get her up and running quickly when I get there. ADSL is not needed yet, she just surfes a bit.

Thanks.

Maybe NetZero, if not, you might be out of luck, or maybe one of these :

What else, do you know if there's wireless Internet access available on a street nearby? It's like if she was on a laptop on that street if you put a wireless card.

Thanks a lot Antoine

Seems there are a few potentials in the list.


Good idea, I'll bring my USB wifi stick which has provided me with "backup" ISP before

I was with Freeserve when I had dialup, so you have a recommendation from me for that one.

Hi,
join Bank of Scotland.
Then you can use their bosinternet.com for free.

They charge for telephone helpdesk @50p/min.

You pay line call charge to your phone provider.
