I got an offer for NetZero internet access for $6.95 per month. I live too far out in the country to get DSL, etc. and I am paying 14.95 per month for dial up now. Does anyone use NetZero and have you been happy with it. I think the company is based out of CA. Any information would be helpful. Thanks!

How long is the $6.95 good for?

My wife works for a small rural telephone company and they have just introduced a new service, satellite internet service. It works fast and since it is satellite, it doesn't matter where you live. The service that they offer is through a company called Wild Blue.

12 months

I really don't use the internet enough to feel good about paying for satellite internet. No kidding, I probably only use it about 1 hour per week at home. Probably not even that much.

I just signed up for netzero about a month ago. It seems to be fine. We were paying $24 for AOL up until then. We haven't had any problems with it so far. We also live in the country and can't get anything but dial up. I am paying $9.95 a month though.

I had them way back when they were free but I didn't have any issues. I use Wi-Fi now. Heard they are working on supplying internet through your electrical outlets. So if you have electricity you can get internet.

You didn't offend me in the least. I was giving you "crap". I have a thicker skin that you think. P, don't try to be too "PC".

Ack! There are still places in our fine nation where they don't have DSL, Wireless Sat, or Cable Modems?! I couldn't live without my high speed!

You guys must really be out in the sticks. I live in a tiny rural community and I have a cable modem. I'm with BF ... I can't imagine being without the highspeed connection.

I use Netzero, it's slow but I don't have much choice. I can't get dsl either, and i'm not that far from city limits. I know people farther out who can get it, which really bugs me.

If I lived in town I would be able to have a cable modem, but I can't even get cable TV 5 miles outside of town.

I still have dial up at home, simply because I don't access the web at home very often. I can't see the point in paying the cost for cable internet access for such a small amount of time i am on it (it is very frustrating, however, when i am on it at home...I am spoiled here at work) I did look into DSL, and it is not available in my area-apparently i do not live within X feet of a relay, or some stupid reason like that. I live in southern NH, but not the sticks (no comments, please!!!)
