I'll remain Internet-less at home

AT&T (my phone company) offers high-speed Internet for $14.99 a month. Except in my area. I refuse to use dial-up. Cable Internet is $50 a month which I will not pay. Guess I'll do my surfing at work, unless any of you have another suggestion for service!

No suggestions, ONLY SYMPATHY!!
Poor Paula!

Do you know if there are going to be other companies coming to your area in the relatively near future? That tends to take prices down. Boo to AT&T!
Paula, have you checked with Comcast?
Deborah, Comcast is $50 a month. I refuse to pay that! I even went as far as thinking about changing phone companies but I can't find another phone company with service in my area. I don't exactly live in the middle of nowhere!
Pirate says, you can come and surf at our house anytime, anyday!!!!!
I have my net and cable bundled... it works out to about 130 a month, but the net alone is 40 I think, plus taxes etc...

I'd give up cable before I'd give up my internet LOL
Paula,
I would find out if your Cable company offers bundles.
I have my phone, cable and internet all through my cable company.
The breakdown on what I pay for phone and Internet are $25 each.
The phone includes unlimted long distance, call waiting, caller ID.
Best of all High Speed Internet.
The only bundles offered are for cable, voice and Internet. You have to take all 3. And guess what? Voice is not available in my area.
Paula...Melissa and I have the bundle from Comcast...phone, cable and intenet. I haven't really looked into other options out by us.
Try something like NetZero.......
Amanda, you're in Elgin and I'm in South Elgin. Two different service areas, even though we are only a mile apart.

I might be forced into dial-up!

Such crazyness :roll: :roll:
Oh no... not sure how you're going to do it!! I couldn't! Hope you find a solution. :)
Save your money and use the computer at work. Dial up is nothing but FRUSTRATING.....when we moved dial up was the only choice.....if I would have known how bad it was I would have gone computer-less....luckily we have a new cellular modem now....its not perfect but its a thousand times better than dial up.
With dial up I couldn't post pictures, I couldn't read some of my emails....it really is not worth the money. Sites were really slow to load....
This forum should be good for dial up, except for the pictures threads that have a 100 pictures in them. :D
