Netzero had a crappy free service. There is a general rule of thumb you've heard before, 'you get what you pay for.' Good dialup service used to be worth 15-20 a few years ago. Anything less was crap, because it was below the cost of good service. That may have dropped a little bit, but you're not going to find 5xdialup or (5x28.8=144k [isdn]) or 5x57.6=288k +dsl) for less than at least $35 and that is likely too low. > needed?
