said by Tzale  :Why pay $50/month when all ISPs take you to the same internet?  I've seen those NetZero ads. I've thought it funny too.
NetZero isn't even the cheapest.
Dial-Up.cc is even cheaper, at $8/mo. and no contract. They used to be $5/mo., which appealed to me since I wanted to have Internet access in case my cable went out.
That and there's no DSL here, so I can't just use Dual-WAN and have the DSL for back-up. |

| I still keep a dialup provider just in case cable goes down and I really need to get to the internet or get e-mail. Today, just for the halibut, I scrounged around for the box in which I had stored my external Zoom V.90 modem. I was thinking about removing the internal modem and using the slot for something else, so I needed to see whether it would still work. I got it to send a fax, which was encouraging and now I'm on line with it and it seems to work better than the V.92 LT WinModem. It also has an LT chipset, but being an external serial modem, it doesn't depend on the CPU for help. Anyway, I may now pull the internal modem and put that other card in. I'm sure I won't use the external modem for connecting to the internet all that much, but it is essential to maintain the ability to send and receive faxes, at least for now.
If dialtone goes away, that's a whole other kettle of fish. |

Me too...I remember using hacks to make the intrusive toolbar thing disappear...or is that another "free" dialup service? |

I still have a free NetZero account. Use it as a backup for my cable. Think it only has 10 free hours a month with it though. |
