    The Register
    AOL UK is to cease offering unmetered dial-up Net access to up to 30,000 customers because their telcos don't support unmetered Internet services.

    From November 9 all customers who don't use BT, Telewest or NTL as their phone provider will be switched to a new metered price plan called AOL 30 HOUR, which will provide 30 hours of online time for £15.99 a month.

    Anyone exceeding this monthly limit will be charged 1p a minute for their extra time online.

    Those telcos affected by this change include Kingston Communications, Telewest Eurobell, Jersey Telecom, Guernsey Telecoms, Manx Telecom and WightCable.

    It's understood that some of the telcos do provide a wholesale unmetered product but that it is simply too expensive.

    Hi.

    None of those telcos are any size except maybe for Telewest Eurobell.

    The rest are all on scuttery little islands or in Hull only (Kingston)
