That's pretty inaccurate these days I think, certainly in the UK anyway. People using dialup modems can opt for many different unmetered systems, one of the most common being FRIACO (Flat Rate Internet Access Call Origination), or SurfTime a service offered by British Telecommunications for flat rate call access to any participating ISP. And that's before you get into ADSL and cable modems, both of which are of course unmetered. Unmetered voice phone calls are also now available for a monthly fee with most telecoms companies. Andrew.
