Of those UK ISPs that were mentioned about the majority require you to be a British Telecom customer. That and the fact that they are crap (most dump you every hour or two and you have to dial back in) keeps me on AOL *spit*. If the hotel you are in isn't a BT customer you wouldn't be able to use the account. AOL on the other hand doesn't care who your phone carrier is. We have used our AOL in a couple of London hotel rooms with little problems. Just make sure you know the charges before hand. The hotel I was in on Saturday required me to swipe my credit card before I hooked the modem up but didn't list the rate. I had to call the desk to find out.
