it's free, but the download speed is very slow. If you pay, you get faster download speed
I chose to pay before someone removed all my downloaded content... Have to get it all back up on my PC again (still got 2 months left).
For "regualar" members, it is very slow, and a lot of the stuff on there comes in big files and needs multiple downloads. I tried downloading one train (a class 156) just as a trial and was given an 8 hour estimate. In reality, you need the premium membership. The £20 for the year is a good investment if you're going to use the resource, and trust me there's some good material on the site.
If you're a bit unsure, the £3 for one month may be enough to let you try a couple of the routes out and see if you want to make the bigger commitment. But I can assure you that, if you want more content for MSTS, it is a very good website and worth every penny.

Adam another way to get some Premium membership at UKTS is to go to the CD ordering section order a couple of the community CDs at £4-50 each. Dorset Coast, Thames Mersey and North West England spring to mind, as with each CD you order you will receive a months premium membership for each CD. More than enough time to get anything else you want from the files section. If you do choose to take out a membership any cds you order will be added to your Premium Membership so you don't loose out. I have only paid a membership once 3 years ago and its getting close to needing renewing in August

UKTS is well worth the yearly premium membership. I've been a premium member on & off since the start & have easily got my moneys worth all the while. If you are just starting off with MSTS (were have you been??:grin
then there are tons of files to download to upgrade msts & get it to work 100% better than the basic version, you will need premium membership for that for at least a month.
