Lenny,
Netzero still offers free dial up (10 hours/mo). If you need more hours, you can create multiple accounts.

Keep in mind that with netzero, they will autobill your credit card
forever and getting them to quit is nearly impossible. The only way
is typically to report your credit card lost. NetZero has no customer
service whatsoever and will charge by the hour for leaving you on hold
waiting for a overseas script reader.

Thats weird.. I didn't have to use a credit card to sign up for netzero free
internet.

Does anyone know of a really cheap dialup provider? Thanks, Lenny.

Here is a site that lists them all-http://www.freedomlist.com/ Before
we went to cable, we used highstream.net and were really happy with
it. If we ever decided to go with dial up again, I would go back to
them. Or type in free or cheap isp in Google and you'll come up with
lots of choices.

Sorry 'bout that

There is a company of which the name eludes me right now - that offers like
$4.95 a month - albeit the hours you can use it may be limited. They have
other plans available. Do a google search for ISPs. It should produce some
results.

The one I have is $9.95 a month. Not bad but - slow for pictures and large
files, but then I don't do many of those anyway. But I have unlimited access
for that price. I am saving $120 a year over a similar service with the same
speed and issues - which I was using before.

Not gonna happen unless you have a lot of phone lines. Its 10 hours per
phone number, not account.

AT&T's basic DSL is $24.95 month, making it only $5 month more than
your former dialup service.

The phone company hasn't seen fit to give us DSL here - yet. Cable is here
but a bunch more expensive.

I did a Google search on "cheap dialup service" and got lots of composite
sites. Peruse the list and choose one. I was on AllVantage for quite some
time and felt they did a good job.

I can't complain about mine - really. It does as good a job as the one I was
paying $10 more for per month prior to it. The only thing is, as I already
pointed out - "large" files and "pictures" are slow - but otherwise I'm
happy. But - I don't do many "large" files or pictures - anyway.

There are a few out there who as I said - charge like $4.95 a month, but you
get only like 15 hours. I'm on a lot - daily with business and so on.
Unlimited access for $9.95 a month, I'm not going to complain. Down time has
been mimimal. My last provider also "was" carrying the News groups - but
stopped - claiming it was costing him $2000 a month to do so. I find that a
bit hard to believe, but whatever. Needless to say - out he went as a
provider.

If its available in your area. Its not yet everywhere. They are too cheap to
build the sub c o to do it here.

There have to be enough potential customers to pay for the new
hardware.
