I'm on a fixed income (not like all you richies);
$50 a month is steep for me. Is there a decent isp
that charges 10-20/per month?

It's Netzero with their 4G portable WiFi hotspot no less. If my mom can set that up, I think most can do that.

Tried netzero years back and found I would rather pay the toll than be interupted every two minutes with commercials.
Hope they have changed.
New customers can get AT&T DSL for a year for $19.95 but
then they will want to increase it to $40 or more. Don't let them
talk you into getting their U-Verse service because you can't go
back to DSL very easily after they raise your rates.
For a simple soutiion try DSLextreme.com.
You can get 6mbs DSL for $22.85 total and they are much more
customer friendly than AT&T.
I have hated AT&T ever since a contractor lied about service.
what do you pay for it? $25, $35, more per month? You then add $10-20 more onto that? You are already at $50 and for that cost per month you can get internet only service which you can then add a Magic Jack VOIP phone to for phone service. The cost per year is about $40 if you also ported your old phone number to it.

So, with a broadband internet service you can also have almost free phone service, view videos from TV at their websites after they've shown on live TV broadcast.
