Dial up server? - Striper Talk Striped Bass Fishing, Surfcasting, Boating

Has anyone tried Net Zero? I'm thinking of switching, due to the problems I've been having with my current server. What other options are out there? I'd love to go high speed, but $ is a little tight right now.

I'm on 110.net for $8.50 a month.
NetZero claims to be 5 times faster for something like $14.99 a month.

yea really what johnR said ^^ HYPOTHETICALLY SPEAKING one could say pull a connection from a main comp to a couple neighbor's houses and split the 70 bux or w/e it costs in ur area a month

while ur at it add digi cable (only works for 2 family homes as u need to pull wiring) and split those costs 2. of course this is all HYPOTHETICAL and i dont reccomend it ;P

ThrowingTimber · 11-18-2004, 06:30 PM

4 miles

Stay away from AOL, it's next to impossible to get on during peak hours, I know, half my friends who use AOL bitch constantly about this.

NetZero may be free, but there's a slight catch. I can't remember what it was but I believe you get subjected to advertising in your emails or on your screen in return for free ISP services.

Made the call yesterday, Verison, no more headaches...I hope.

How $$$$$$?

TheRattBoy · 11-21-2004, 07:26 PM

$30.00 a month, that's gonna be on 3 computers, which we can run at the same time and still use the phone. johnny
btw, It's $162.00 for all the routers and sh*t to make all that possible, then $30 a month

BigBo · 11-21-2004, 09:57 PM

Got all my Verizon equipment including wireless router free. Running three 'puters and very happy. Mine is wired with ethernet cable, one wireless laptop, and my daughters desktop running wireless in her house next door.

$29.95/month

fishaholic18 · 11-22-2004, 12:25 AM

Cox is cheaper.

TheRattBoy · 12-04-2004, 06:11 PM

This is the BALLS, much faster and, so far, everything working fine.
