dial up internet connection

[JamesB]

i need to sign my parents up for a dial up internet connection.

yes a dial up internet connection, dont ask why and dont suggest dsl or high speed.

I have looked at net zero for $9.95 a month. but cant find much else for the Houston area.

all I need is a dial up internet connection, no anti virus, no email no bells and whistles no extras, just a darn slow ass connection to the internet.

anyone have any ideas??? this connection wont be used much , maybe an hour a day.

I have DSL, but you could check out PeoplePC.com

[HotHolly]

We used both of those a while back. People PC used to have reduced priced access for around $6.95 per month via Sams Club. Not sure if they still do.

Nethere.com is another option. Doesn't push anything at you, can be paid yearly at a reduced rate. You can check for local dial up number availability on their website.

what's dial-up? j/k

tried www.netzero.com ?

ev1 no longer provided service - they switched everyone over to peoplePC.


Be wary of cheap ISP's that require software downlad to work - some are no better that having spamware on your computer.

I have used peoplePC and it worked great. So i would recommend them.

Why?



What about DSL?



It's a "rebellion against authority" thing

[JamesB]

thanks everyone.

my dad currently has DSL, but only uses it to check his email. so its a waste of money for him when lower cost dial up will do just fine.

i may even look into one of those limited dial up connections thats like $5 for 25 hours a month

Oh thats RIGHT they did! I forgot ALL about that! thanks for the reminder. I agree about the cheap ISPs and downloading of software. They could have a TON of spyware built in to their software.

I have an uncle in Brazoria county using academicplanet.com, and our daughter in Williamson county using it too. No complaints.
