If you have to use dial-up, don't use NetZero
Well,

My mom has NetZero installed on her computer. Now, you have to know, NetZero uses advertisements all over to make prices for their premium customers lower. We pay $10 a month (I think) for the ads to not take up 10% of the screen while connected. Despite this, we still get ads while connecting and disconnecting, and now, while disconnected, it is asking to dial up to connect to cnn.com. I am not the only one with this problem, but NetZero support is just brushing my inquiry off. I even went as far to search for and find the string "cnn.com" within their own exec.exe, a file that is installed and runs with NetZero. They are brushing me off, so I'm thinking it doesn't make sense to pay anything to have this *bad* software installed on our computer. Do I keep trying to fight with support, or do I give and leave the situation as it is (the computer requesting to dial out every 3-4 seconds to connect to cnn.com) or do we get DSL from our phone provider?
