All2EZ is the best cheap dial-up out there and has been for yrs. I used them when I lived in the boonies.
$5/m for 200 hrs, straight DUN. They even have a decent news server and personal web space. Read reviews here. |

Read reviews here. $5 for 200 mins versus $3.33 for 9000 mins is not even close. VTISP wins. VTISP Can be setup straight DUN too. |

We use Metconnect as a backup here when the cable goes down.
Aside from that, if you live in a somewhat dense area, ask a neighbor if you can piggyback and offer to toss in a few $$ or half the cost to get high speed wireless. Just my 2 cents |

Just my 2 centsStealing internet service is unethical; keep prices a bit lower for the rest of us. I do, however, understand piggybacking for backup purposes when your main service goes down, but use common sense and ethics when trying to find deals. |

dial up is not fast enough for FWers, it'll be OOS before you can add it to your cart! Of course for grandparents or parents of said FWers, it might be great! |

Good question, nice catch... Like I said if you didn't catch it........not for Alzheimer's patrons . Other wise quite easy. Also if you get the majority of your sodium and beef at WalMart may not be fit for you. |

Not bad if you want a back up internet connection. Some students may need to email their instructor or even send an assignment and if their home internet connection goes out... |

If you live in California here's a FREE dail-up service that I use as a back-up and it has lots of access numbers, no limits, no restrictions, no ads and no charges, just setup a DUN and choose a access number and put in anything for the ID & PW. http://www.fastfreedialup.com/ |

And then you say "I do, however, understand piggybacking for backup purposes..." - you are funny %)
