Why not bypass Surftima alltogether and find an ISP that offers un-metred
without BT. I'm with Madasafish and they are very good. They got a good review
on ISP review. I'm quite happy with them. OK I've had faster but so far I can
get on even at peak times within 2-3 attempts. Most often though I get on first
time. I can wholeheartedly recommend them and you can sign up using a miggy
browser. Something that seems to be becoming a rarity these days. I only hope
they stay as good as they are. prices are £27.99 for 24/7 IIRC

Regards
