I find the ISP side of things excellent - www.valleytoy.co.uk is mine...

However, I've noticed something - if you want one of their banners on your
page the link is targetted to "_fnn" (or somesuch) which suggests to me that
they may, at some point, start putting a Xoom-style frame across the tops of
pages. Even so, with a bit of a criminal mastermind (or just knowing what to
do with frames and where your real pages are stored) this presents no
serious problems.
