Go ahead, it sounds like a very soild Idea, from experience once broadband hits, people you never thought knew what broadband was....will jump on the bandwagon. It will change your perspective on the internet.....for example, I am not happy with any download under 20K to 30K a sec. While my modem did, say 5.1K at max.

I've been using Covad DSL for almost a year now and I'm very happy with it. Net access has went down less than 5 times in the last year and each time it was back up in less than an hour. Customer Service doesn't make you wait that long and they are about as knowledge as you can ask for from a "help" desk. The only problem is whether they will be able to stay in business. BTW... love the site.

I think I've found a good dial-up solution.

I'm currently on the phone with Prodigy cancelling my membership. For the next month, I'm using Netzero's $9.95/month platinum service. However, I already know that I'm going to cancel at the end of the month. I didn't realize 1. that there are no ad bars, but there's an annoying, useless "navigation bar" that's omnipresent, and 2. that every e-mail sent through their SMTP servers has a Netzero ad tacked on the bottom.

I came across Highstream.net, who is $8.99/month (with a $5 set-up fee) with no ads, navigation bars, etc. There's some discussion about it here.

Ahhhh... my month with Netzero was just about up, so I signed up with the aforementioned Highstream.net. My first connection: incredible. Twice the speed of any connection I ever had with Netzero. No stupid bar at the bottom (which used 9 megs of memory), better connections, and even a cheaper price. Can't complain.

I shall cancel Netzero tomorrow (happily), about three or four days early.

I am looking for a reliable $10 a month ISP in the 318 area code that I can use Internet Explorer, instead of their package. I also want 2 e-mail addresses and 5 to 10 mb of web space. I have been using JUNO, but am not happy with their flakey browser and the pop-up ads and other agrivations. Please e-mail me any good ISP's you've found that meet these qualifications at lynwolw@yahoo.com.
