NEED: Basic, No Frills, Dial-Up ServiceI'm setting up a computer for a friend of mine who wants dial up access where she's at (she's not online much, and can't get DSL, etc... where she lives). It's been a long while since I've shopped for Dial-Up service, so I post here: I need a cheap Dial-up service that has local phone numbers in Bend, Oregon. I don't need any of the fancy crap that gets installed with many of the providers (I'll install my own pop-up, spam, virus, and spyware blocker, thank you). I just need good, reliable, dial-up access. I have a back-up account through Surf Best that my in-laws mostly use (and I use it when I'm on the road and can't pirate a connection from somewhere), but I just wanted to know if there was anything else out there that might be cheaper. Any recommendations? Posted by Jake on 09/27/05 @ 12:02 PM

It appears to be pretty stripped, without accelerator or spam/popup/virus protection. Unfortunately, can't speak to the reliability issue...

You can get a cheapo DSL-connection for €5 over in these parts. KurtP said on 09/28/05 @ 07:33 PM: I'm using ev1.net for $10/mo unlimited. It's not bad if you have a good phone connection. Only problem I've had was when I tried the free accelerator- it crashed my Firefox. Rob said on 09/29/05 @ 01:48 PM: My mom also uses ev1.net (in Dallas) - seems to work pretty well for her, and she loves the price. Post a comment |
