I would like internet at home, but I don’t need much. My local cable/phone company wants 40-50 dollars a month.
Netzero DSL is not offered in my area so I was wondering about dial up…is it good…if it isn’t, is there another place to go through that is good but on the cheaper side?
Thanks!
The company which currently provides my internet connection (netzero) doesn’t offer broadband service in my community. If I were to use a local internet company to provide broadband service on my computer, wouldn’t I lose my netzero email address? Is there any means of keeping that address once I have switched to broadband?
I would not be willing to lose all my contacts in order to make the switch (and I do not keep an “address book” as I choose to type email addresses in individually each time I correspond).

What it is like to sell dial up internet, at the anonymous dial up internet company. This is a parody of what a real sales call is like. Sad thing is, it isn’t not too far off.

I have a friend who lives in a small city of ~30,000 people. The entire city is controlled by a greedy phone company. If you want landline phone service or local internet you must use them. The prices are not competitive. He is paying $20/month for a dial up internet account + $30/month for the stupid phone line to use said account. The phone company will offer him “high speed” DSL internet for ~$80/month (750kup/750kdown) which is not even that fast. There is no option to use Sprint, MCI, AT&T, etc…just his crappy greedy phone company. Is this legal? It’s a total monopoly.
