The Dink Network

Yeah, that's basically it. As of now we've been using AOL (like $24 a month). So, due to the priciness, I have set out to find a cheaper ISP. I know the basics like netzero and juno and all that, but what are some better ones? We want dial-up (preferably highspeed) for around 10 bucks a month. Can anyone point me out towards a good ISP?

Live without the internet for a while and save up for a half worthit connection. At least DSL or cable if your feeling adventurous.

Otherwise I can't help you. I had dial up at one time with my local phone company...it worked fine and was relatively cheap...maybe the same would work in your case

Take a look in the local newspaper or some such thing and see if you have a good, cheap locally-owned provider around you - that's straying from the secure feeling you get when you go with a big-name ISP, but sometimes it's worthwhile. Until she moved out of town, my mom got her dial-up service for about $10 a month from some fellow running a pretty small operation, and we even got quite a few months of free and reduced-price access due to some troubles we had when he first established the service. In the same town, my dad pays a similar price for a local ISP that's been around a while and is quite stable.

Wow now I can see how much difference the price is... Over here 24meg broadband can be got for about £25 a month (Roughly $40) yet your dial up was costing you about half that. Britain rocks

Living without the internet? I could not do that. Seeing that my mom has a college accounting class and does her homework online, and as of now, it's the only way I can talk to my girlfriend without killing my dad with a cellphone bill, this is ot an option. DSL or Cable would be nice, but we don't really need all that. We aren't really heavy downloaders.
I think I have found something worth checking into. Not too familiar with everything when it comes to ISPs though. So, I'm getting my uncle to check into it to make sure it's what we want. One of those highspeed for 10$ a month things, sounds a little like those too good to be true things from what I've seen.

AOL is the only dial-up I've seen for that kind of price ($24). Most ISPs that I've seen are around $10 a month for 56K dial-up. Then around $15 a month for highspeed.

But surely, I don't know the situation where you live, but would you really prefer 56k dial-up over DSL? In my country it's pretty common to have broadband (either DSL or cable) so in case you live in the middle of the desert which makes those extremely expensive, then I can imagine you don't choose it.. but even the cheapest broadband has advantages over 56k - but you decide Back in the days it took me an hour to get a file like 8 - 10 MB on my HD.. not mentioning the occasional loss of connection and slow speed
