Karl's Goodies: essential resources: Compare Cheap ISPs

Still using bloated and/or costly 56K Dialup Services (like AOL, Earthlink, MSN, Netzero, SBC-Yahoo!, etc.)? That might be because you are unable to obtain DSL broadband services in your area... and if that's the case, then read on! Listed below, is a sampling of DIALUP ISPs that provide 56K (or 56K with accelerators) Internet access! The prices and features, listed herein, are subject to change at any time. Prices indicated below may require an up-front annual commitment/payment (penalties typically apply only if you CANCEL AFTER the first 30 day trial-period)... month-to-month payment/prices may be slightly higher (than the monthly averaged amount of an annual-payment method). Be sure that you understand any prospective provider's current pricing, billing, and cancellation policies... as well as their TOS (terms of service), before you sign-up!

Simple DUN? = YES! * -- means that you need not install any bloated AD-TRACKING and BANDWIDTH-ROBBING software (such as that which AOL, MSN, SBC, Netzero, and others, would have you install)! Rather than installing such software, you simply create a DUN connection to their services! Of course; if you are signing-up for an ISP service which includes an accelerator, you might have to install software to obtain that extra speed! ...And while on the subject of extra speed:

Are you ready to move-on and away-from 56K Dialup Services? Did you know that broadband DSL may be available, in your area, at comparable (or even lower) costs than some 56K DIAL-UP providers now charge? If you switch to DSL (or CABLE) broadband services and are presently using a 2nd phone-line (which is now used solely for your computer's Internet access), you may be able to disconnect that 2nd phone-line and save even more! Listed below is a sampling of DSL services being offered at very reasonable rates (often much LESS than you are now paying for a 2nd phone-line and 56K dialup service)!
DSL ISPs	DSL $/month	Download Speed	More info...
