UK Internet Service Providers (ISPs) offer a variety of service choices and The Telecottage offers impartial advice, professional installation with tutorials to ensure you get the best from your package.

Recommended ISPs provide POP3 & Webmail facilities, allowing clients access to messages anywhere. If your ISP does not provide Webmail, then Mail2Web (shown right) can be used to View / Reply to / Create new email messages. To prevent someone guessing your logon details, use passwords that are:

  • Entropy passwords like '5he11i0n' which is more secure than 'shellion'.

  • Passphrase password like '4liveat19SunStreet' is easier to remember & hard to guess!
