What are the benefits of Myinternetpass over
other Internet Service Providers (ISPs)?
1) I'm already getting free Internet, why should I switch to
Myinternetpass Prepaid Internet?
Some people who use free ISPs have difficulties with slow connection
speeds, intrusive advertising, unreliable service and getting
"bumped" while they're in the middle of an Internet
activity. Myinternetpass Prepaid Internet can eliminate these
problems.
2) I pay less than £14.99 a month for unmetered minutes
with my current ISP. Can Myinternetpass Prepaid Internet beat
that?
The value of your ISP service depends if you are a heavy user
or a light user. If you don't use the Web on a regular basis,
you could be paying for service that you aren't using. With
Myinternetpass Prepaid Internet, you only pay for the minutes
you actually need.

What do people say about the Myinternetpass service?
"At
£10 a month, this is cheaper than any other standard unmetered
service, beyond free or discounted introductory offers"
The Observer
"If you don’t need regular 24-hours-a-day internet
access, these cards provide a perfect solution. With access
costs at just half a pence per minute, you'd be hard pushed
to find a cheaper option."
PC Answers
"While you can avoid commitment by using a PAYG account
or sidestep telephone charges by paying a fixed monthly fee
for unmetered access, Myinternetpass lets you do both......
Because it's possible to have several accounts set up on a single
computer, students or anybody else living in shared accommodation
or sharing a computer can benefit - and that means the family,
too.....
Myinternetpass would also make an ideal gift or stocking-filler
for children, or even an appealing alternative to pocket money."
Carol Voderman
"With no additional call charges as you dial up using a
Freephone number, no contract to sign and no software to load,
it sounds great!"
The Daily Mirror
"When using Myinternetpass households with an average pay-as-you-go,
metered service could cut their bills by as much £192
a year"
PC Advisor
"MIP is a perfect solution for my traveling requirements
up and down the UK"
Mr J. Harris, London
"A non-subscription, cheaper version of AOL - great idea
- thank you MIP"
M. Gerrard, Edinburgh
"Myinternetpass has been a reliable and useful service
for me when I surf the net"
Mrs T. Wells, Norfolk
"Why didn’t you bring this type of Internet Access
out earlier - you could have saved me so much money and arguing
with my flat mates!"
Ms. S. Brown, Student, Bath University
