Anyone want a good, cheap ISP??

Yeah, I still use dial-up. Just can't see paying the much higher cost of broadband. Firefox helps speed up browsing, but downloading . . . Ugh!!!

Anyway . . . . I recommend/subscribe to www.five95.net. I get a good 53 to 55 Kbps connection most of the time and hardly ever get disconnected, all for 5.95 a month, which is really all dialup is worth anyway.

Check it out -- can anyone out there beat this?!?!?

Broadband is king. 4.8 MB/s download is a little faster than 53K dialup.

If you just browse, dialup is ok. But downloading anything can take forever on dialup.
