Freeserve disconnect every 2hrs!

I recently changed my ISP to Freeserve anytime. I am a regular online gamer and I have become irritated by the regular disconnects. Freeserve's website tells us that they disconnect every two hours in order to disrupt anyone who tries to leave their computer connected 24/7.
That may be, but I'm sick of dropping out of multiplayer online games in the middle of all the action or when I'm winning!!!
Can anyone recommend a good ISP at a similar price to me (eg @ £13-£15per month, I cannot afford broadband til later in the year.
I am based in the UK if that makes any diference.

Not sure if they will work in the UK! Best to call them up about it!
good luck!

Matt - I don't believe that any of those service the UK. Best let our other UK members advise here.
