What are the various no cost or low cost ISP's available out there?

Like Juno, Net Zero, etc.? Any preferences?

Juno and NetZero are the same now - they merged yet kept accounts separate. So both are available for 9.95 a month and you can cancel at any time. I have Juno which has been relatively reliable but every now and then a server goes down and you can't get on the internet at all. One thing I don't like about it is when you activate Juno you don't get the web page to open in Internet Explorer. They use their own browser window. But once you get into Juno you can click on Internet Explorer and use that as a browser if you like.

If you want a great deal, WalMart also offers internet access for $9.94 a month - a full 1-cent cheaper than Netzero/Juno and offers UNLIMITED use. WMConnect is powered by AOL's Compuserve service.

The big two also have budget plans, but their attraction depends on what you are willing to accept. AOL and MSN have access plans (5 and 20 hours respectively) for 9.95 a month. AOL also has a 3-hour plan for $4.95 a month. For additional hours you pay AOL $2.50-$2.95/hr. and MSN $1.50/hr.

AOL: Sign up for the free trial, then follow the instructions at http://www.aol.com/info/pricing.adp for how to get cheap access after your free month

MSN Dialup (look for hourly plan): http://join.msn.com/?page=dept/dialupa&pgmarket=en-us

I hope this is helpful.

I've used this server for three years now and am really happy with them. Any time I've felt I had a problem, (earlier), and wasn't able to figure it out I would send an email to their support desk and always, always received a helpful answer.

You might want to check out their web page, there is a lot of info. on other types of connections, etc. plus many other links.
