Fastest internet access for lowest price?

Question

I have a laptop and I live in an apartment. I only need internet access; I don't need cable or anything. What's the cheapest fastest internet plan I can get and with what company? thank you!

Answer 1

Michael, I assume you are either in the USA or Canada.

The following appear to be good options for a dial up connection. No cable required

http://www.juno.com/ (6.95/mnt with 12 month contract)

http://www.netzero.net/ (9.95/mnt with 12 month contract)

Netzero claims to be faster. They say "NetZero is the fastest surfing you can get without paying the high price for a broadband connection"    I have not tried but heard good things

Cheers

Answer 2

Dialup:

Netzero---2 services

(free service, 10 hours monthly)

(unlimited service, about $10 a month)

Juno----2 services

(free services, 10 hours monthly)

(unlimited sevice, about $10 a month)

PeoplePC---1 service

(unlimited, about $11 monthly)

These are not quite "fast" but are the cheapest. PeoplePC is fastest, then Netzero unlimited service, then Juno unlimited service, then Netzero free, and last Juno free.

DSL:

AT&T Yahoo--4 services

(basic, cheapest, slowest) $20

(express, cheap, slow) $25

(pro, expensive, fast) $30

(elite, expensive, fastest) $35

All are much faster than any dialup service. Recommended.

Cable:

RCN-4 services

20Mbps $70

10Mbps $45

5mbps $35

1.5mbps $17

Faster than DSL, but clearly more expensive.

Hope this helped. peace
