iam paying 6 mo. in advance for $14 a month, i could save a$1 a month with annual pay, but feel more comfortable with 6 mo. payment. strange how different areas of the country have such different rates for isp. same with extra phone line for computer. here it is like having to seperate phone lines $35. a month for extra line, my friend thos in anothe state pays $12 FOR 2ND LINE. needless to say i only have 1 line./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Been out of town a few days, Danny. I'm sure a lot of the other guys can better explain what "broadband" is than I could. All I know is it uses the same type coax as the cable TV, you're always online (no dialing and waiting; no second phone line, etc. and it's much, much faster).

I see some of the other guys have mentioned what they pay for Internet service. I'd been paying $19.95 a month for unlimited access to Internet America in Dallas, and then I was also paying for a second phone line. I see there's a considerable regional difference in that price also (and wonder whether the prices include all the charges). My phone bill showed the second residential line to be $14.20 a month, but after they tack on the "Interstate Subscriber Line Charge, Expanded Local Calling" and a bunch of other fees, taxes, etc. (none of which are "optional"), it actually was over $21 a month. In fact, two lines (with the only option being "call waiting" on one of them) was costing $48.40 a month.

Of course the broadband service is going to cost even more/w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif, but I've forgotten exactly what they told me (and threw away the notes I made at the time), and haven't gotten the first bill yet./w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

I recommend outdrs.net. They might cost a couple dollars more, but they support hunting and fishing rights. Its the only site that I know that does.

bky - Thanks, but when I checked for access numbers in my area I got the message "Unfortunately there are no local access numbers in your area". Just my luck!

They still have some problems to work out at MyWay. I opened up an email account to try it out and it times out in just a few minutes, which is a nuisance. They said they're working on the problem, but it's been 3 days and they still haven't fixed it. They're going to lose out on a lot of customers if they don't fix it soon!
