Yes it's true I may have to use dial up for a week or so - is going with the AOL cds from target or USPS, etc. a good way to do it? this is only for a week...

Here's a list of Free/Cheap ISPs.

If you can keep your surfing to under 10 hours then go with NetZero, otherwise do the AOL thing. Just make sure to CANCEL your account otherwise a month or two from now you will be charged.

Uh oh ...
Why not...? I need to surf WAY more than 10 hours/month. Sheesh! Between me and the mrs I'd expect around 150 - although if it's only a week...course still that's just not good enough.

So what can you do with AOL? Can I check hotmail and my bank accounts, etc.?

:Q gotta use netzero.

On the Birmingham evening news next week: "Skoorb, of anandtech, murdered an ISP tech today. When asked why he did it, Skoorb replied, "No AT, and no net access make Skoorbie go something something..."
Skoorb was hauled away to the looney bin while the shocked city of Birmingham recovers."

I can't imagine you being that cheap, ISPs cost as low as $5.95 per month.

Here's a great ISP thread over at my old stomping grounds DVDTalk.com

You're even more of a cheap ass than I am, if that's even humanly possible!

So you can't pay a whopping $8.95 for one month of non-AOL ISP service?

:D

Doesn't MSN have 3 months free or something like that?

That way you could at least post here. (AOL users are IP banned if i'm not mistaken)
