Internet Service Providers

I think I'm going to quit AOL. What do you guys recommend for a dial-up connection user? I don't use it enough to justify a full-time hookup. I'm not too swift on computers and will appreciate your advice.

ISP.com has a good dial-up connection and it's cheap with no pop-ups to deal with. It goes by the month, so no long term contract or anything. I use it as a back-up to my cable connection.<br /><br /> http://isp.com/

Re: Internet Service Providers

Jack your making a good move getting rid of AOHell. I like AT&T Worldnet for my backup. Never gives me any problems whatsoever. I don't know if Compuserve is still in business, but don't get them. They are AOHell. Just a different color. Also, if you do decide on At&t, don't even install their software. You can dial in using dialup networking which is already on your computer. They can walk you through the process. It is rather simple. Goodluck!

Re: Internet Service Providers

Go Earthlink. NetZero probably isn't that bad too.<br /><br />You can also check out www.lowermybills.com - you can usually find a good deal there. When it comes to dialup, the cheaper the better.

Be careful of Earthlink - they just cut 60% of their workforce. I use them for my hosting and had a DSL account with them and nver really had problem so I am not anti- Earthlink or anything. Just that they seem to be in trouble.

Re: Internet Service Providers

I don't think that it's a money issue..Other than to lower overhead. Earthlink Cutbacks

Re: Internet Service Providers

I have DSL at home. <br /><br />However I also recommend Earthlink. I use it exclusively, when traveling with a laptop.<br /><br />I've also had to revert to Earthlink when my DSL was down. Earthlink has never failed.

Re: Internet Service Providers

Like I said, I am a long time Earthlink customer but cutting 60% of your workforce is more than OH reduction Know of many companies that ever cut 60% and are still around?

Re: Internet Service Providers

I saw an ad on TV for SBC/Yahoo DSL for either 24.95 or 29.95 a month. But was that for a period of time or regular rate? I know I'm tired of paying over $100 a month for cable/roadrunner.<br /> <br />Any thoughts on SBC? Thanks

Re: Internet Service Providers

I have netzero highspeed @ $14.95 a month and can't complain. It even comes with pop up blocker. and it had lots of local numbers. Just got a good write up on msn business too.
