Dial up is fast becoming old technology, but the benefit of this is that the prices are ridiculously low. With broadband reaching all parts of the world, dialup has been drastically reduced in price, this means just about anybody can afford the internet these days.
Of course just because you can get dial up cheap from just about anywhere, does not mean you should pick one at random, so we have covered some of top dial up internet providers in the US and Canada, and what the difference between them is.
Basic ISP
Basic ISP offers Standard connection for $6.95, which includes an email account, unlimited access, and is connected in minutes, while their Accelerated service costs $9.95 which includes an accelerator to surf up to 7 times faster and a pop up blocker.
Copper.Net
Copper offers Standard connection for $9.95, which includes unlimited email and browsing, Free Spam and Virus protection, as well as a discount of 50% off for the first 6 months. Their Accelerated service allows surfing up to 7 times faster, and has 5 email accounts, this option is $14.95
NetZero Internet
NetZero offers Standard connection for $9.95, and includes unlimited internet access, 1 Gig of email storage, while their accelerated service costs $14.95 and includes the same accelerated surfing option the other companies offer, as well as Free Nortan Anti Virus.
Juno Platinum
Juno offers a cheap Standard connection for only $6.95, which includes unlimited internet with thousands of access numbers, while their Turbo service costs $9.95 and provides up to 5 times surfing speed as well as 2 gig of email storage and Nortan Antivirus online.
ISP.COM
ISP.com offers a Standard connection for $8.95, which includes email spam and virus protection as well as 10 email accounts, while their Accelerated option costs $12.95 and offers surfing up to 7 times faster.
As you can see, the prices don’t vary a great deal with dialup, only about $3 to $5, so if you are really in a squeeze you can choose the cheapest option of $6.95 a month, but with a price difference so close, consider what you need. Ask yourself if you need a pop up blocker or email virus protection, and how many email accounts you will need, then choose the appropriate company.
