Re: If you have to use dial-up, don't use NetZero
You have to check to see if DSL is even available right where you are. There's a distance limitation with it. Just because someone has it down the road from you doesn't mean the phone company will offer it to you. This happened to me since I'm in a "fringe area" the phone company wouldn't provided DSL to me when I looked into getting broadband.
My broadband is thru the cable company. The price is higher though, I pay $45 a month. I'm overall happy with it and they only gripe I have is the loss of the signal (and the ability to get online) during rainstorms that last awhile. It's all underground utilities in my area so it seems water gets in somewhere and causes problems until it dries out. The cable company has been out here several times and has never been able to fix it.
