| Tired of your current ISP's connection drops, customer service or paying too much for your Internet access? Shop for an Internet service plan that fits your Internet needs. Before you decide to sign up for internet service, read the fine print of the company. |
| Connection speed is a huge concern of many Internet users. The speed of your connection will determine how fast pages load while surfing and how fast you can download programs and email. The highest speed available right now to personal users is with DSL, but due to the higher cost of DSL, many people find it is not in their budget. When choosing a dial up provider, be sure to find one with a minimum speed connection of 56K or V.92.
With so many providers available and a wide range of pricing between them, choosing a dial up Internet service provider can be a daunting task. Below you'll find what you need to know in order to compare the services available in your area and choose the one the best fits your needs. The majority of providers today are offering unlimited hours. This means that you can access the Internet as often as you would like per month for as many hours as you want with no extra fees or costs involved aside from your monthly plan fee. However, some Internet service providers still offer hourly plans, meaning that you are allotted a certain numbers of hours that you can be online each month. If you go over that time limit, you are often charged high rates per minute or per hour thereafter.

Know that most of the big ISP's use the identical access numbers that the discount Internet access providers use and offer here. Don't pay over $20.00/Month when you can get the same Internet access for over 50% less.
If you will be using your computer from home only, you will want to make sure you find a provider with a local access number in your area so that you will not have to pay long distance charges to connect to the Internet. This can prove to be costly if you spend a lot of time online.
If you travel with a laptop and need to access the Internet while away, be sure to find a provider that has local numbers to the destinations you travel to on a regular basis. Also find out if you can access more than one dial in number without extra charges or fees.
