inexpensive dialup
 
My internet provider was charging us 5.00 a month and was just sold to
a company thats raising our rates. Does anyone know of a provider that
is still dirt cheap. thanks, Lenny.

Netzero is out there in many areas. I think they are something like $10
or $12 a month.

Don't feel bad....my dialup costs $18.95/mo and stinks.

Mine is $30/month, that's the cheapest I found at the time and is 6 times
what he was paying for dialup. For people who only do email, I suppose
dialup is still fine.

Don't feed the aioe.org troll(s) ;-)

Just a heads up to all readers of this N.G.; inspect the
message headers on _all_ messages into the foreseeable future
to avoid replies to aioe.org trolls and forgers.



I wonder if it's one troll, or multiple people? I've honestly been curious
to see what sort of person does that, clearly they have more free time than
I do.

You might try here to see if they have service in your area. At $3.33 per
month if you pay per year, it doesn't get much cheaper. I have never used
them so can't vouch for them. I used to have AllVantage but I see they were
bought.

The reason I previously posted the link to the Chinese ISP
was that, on this newsgroup (with worldwide coverage),
the OP didn't bother to state where he is located.

Mentioning Rhode Island would have been apt.

This is where to find a cheap ISP: http://www.freedomlist.com

Where are you? Most cheap ISPs have limited service areas.

We're located in New Hampshire but I suppose anything that would offer
local access numbers would be fine. Lenny

Some years ago I needed a "dirt-cheap" dialup service for occasional
testing from an outside network into our network; I used '550access.com'
which is a reseller of ISP services, and which used an ISP local to
us that normally charged $30.00/mo for the same services. Using the
same ISP that we used for other services made for convenience in
dealing with network issues, and the service was 'local', not some
understaffed, outsourced national outfit. I'm sure that there are
many resellers out there, but FWIW, this one worked.

For that application, they sound ideal.
