is there any ADSL with free connection?

My friend just move into a new place (only going to be in uk for a
year) and I was thinking to start with that getting NTL cable modem
might be the best solution. But than today seeing some of the
telephone package like talktalk for bt lines I am starting to wonder
would getting ADSL + BT line be a better solution. Hence is there any
ISP now doing free connection on ADSL now? Or have they all ended?

PlusNet are doing free connection and free modem for £24.99 per month with
unlimited email addresses and 250MB webspace plus SPAM and anti-virus
solutions included. Virgin is the same price with free connection and a
1-month contract but I think the modem is extra. Pipex is £23.44 per month
with a one off fee of £17.50ish for connection and modem.

My personal opinion is that the PlusNet deal is the best value at the
moment. After a year you can drop the price to £21.99 per month or even
lower if you don't need P2P or binary newsgroups and somewhat less webspace.

I was looking last week so I don't know if the 1st September has brought
about even better deals.

Freeserve are now offering a simple try ADSL for one month trial, and
if you are not happy at the end of it, you will simply return all the
hardware and get that months £27.99 fee refunded. Setup & hardware is
free. According to Freeserve this saves £49.99.
