No, that's $17.95 for the first 6 months of Ultra service.
Read next time.

I'd take it solely for the always on status.
I hated 56k, disconnects ever 24 hours to get a new IP from the Dial-Up server.
Plus it works decent for those using a router since it'll be simple to network their PC's now (as opposed to ICS or something else, maybe a 56k router [do those even exist?]). Granted that'll be slow but hey, it's a good way to introduce people to digital connections.

For 17.95 a month they are nuts. I have their DSL lite sevice bundled with their answers plan and I am paying 23.95 a month. I had MSN dial up and paid 21.95 on a 3 year contact (thank God it's done) with lousy connections, slow speed, typical of dial up. I am paying only $2 more a month and have line speeds of 210/108 25kbs and very stable connections. It may not be as fast as their regular or extreme service, but compared to dial up, it blows it out of the water. Why would anyone want to pay 17.95 a month for a dedicated dial up line? You really don't gain anything. I guess if you create a market for something, someone will buy it. |

I say they (Bell) quit monkeying around with new tiers of service (whether it be slower or faster) & actually upgrade all of their remote terminals so that ALL of their customers can actually have the option of DSL (despite which flavor that it may be)!!! |
