Dial Up or High Speed Internet?
Basically there are two options when it comes to cheap Internet access. You can either choose low cost dial up or high speed broadband Internet access.
* Dial Up Internet Access
o Lowest cost
o Single computer
o Light to moderate use
o Ties up a phone line
o Slow download speeds
If you need light to moderate access on a single computer, then standard or accelerated dial up Internet access is the cheaper option and provides reasonable service for a lower cost.
Dial up Internet service requires you to dial a phone number for a connection, so before you choose a dial up ISP make sure they provide a local phone number so you won't incure extra long distance charges. Otherwise you're not only paying the ISP for the service but also paying the phone company for the call..
If you decide to choose one of the inexpensive dial-up Internet providers that we feature. You'll receive dependable dial up Internet service for the lowest monthly cost.
* High Speed Internet Access
o Higher cost
o Multiple computers
o Heavy use
o Doesn't tie up a phone line
o Fast download speeds
If you want to connect multiple computers to the Internet simultaneously or are a heavy Internet user, then you should consider upgrading to a broadband high speed connection.
Anyone who has surfed the Internet using a standard dial up connection is aware of how painfully slow web pages seem to load. Broadband high speed Internet access is increasingly becoming a virtual necessity in today's high tech society.
Broadband Internet access doesn't rely on a telephone connection, so you're always connected to the Internet without tying up your home phone line. This can sometimes be a disadvantage if you are a frequent traveler because your high speed broadband access is usally fixed to your home via a cable, DSL, or satellite connection.
Some people, such as myself, have a high speed Internet account for home use and also maintain a cheap dial-up account with Nationwide coverage for accessing the Internet when traveling away frrom home..
We suggest that you try one of our low cost high speed Internet providers that meets your specific needs and expectations. You'll receive blazing fast, reliable high speed Internet service for a reasonable monthly cost.

What is the Internet?
The Internet is a huge global interconnected network that evolved from the U.S. Department of Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPANET)in the early 1970's.
The Internet logically links computers together so they can share information and data. The Internet consists of millions of worldwide computers that are each independently connected to the Internet.
The U.S. Department of Defense designed the Internet to be decentralized. Each individual computer and sub-network are interconnected so that the system can continue to function even if many of the subnets or host computers became inactive or were destroyed.
Each computer (Host) directly connected to the Internet uses a globally unique Internet Protocol (IP) address. The Hosts communicate using the internationally recognized, multi-platform Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
The Internet supports many various applications such as WWW, email, Usenet news, chat, instant messaging, online conferencing, and FTP file transfers
Ways To Get Connected:
There are many ways you can connect your computer to the Internet, including dial-up, DSL, cable, wireless, ISDN, Satellite, T1, etc. No matter which method you choose you will need a Internet Service Provider ( ISP ).
An ISP is a company that specializes in providing access to the Internet. There are over 6,000 ISPs in the US alone ranging from the mega ISPs such as AOL, MSN, and Earthlink to small local ISP's often run by one person out of a garage or basement.
The Internet service provider provides you with a username, password and the hardware to connect or for dial up a telephone number for a Point Of Presence (PoP).
A PoP is a location where the telecommunications equipment and computer hardware exists that enables your connection to the Internet. The more PoPs a ISP provides the greater your chances of connecting to one with a local telephone call.
If choosing a dial-up provider be sure that the ISP has a local access number PoP so you won't incur long distance telephone charges.
I suggest you compare your available Internet access options by browsing the information we provide on our cheap dial-up or low cost high speed Internet service provider comparison pages.

How Can I Prevent SPAM Email?
You've Got Spam: How to "Can" Unwanted Email
Typically, an email spammer buys a list of email addresses from a list broker, who compiles it by "harvesting" addresses from the Internet. If your email address appears in a newsgroup posting, on a website, in a chat room, or in an online service's membership directory, it may find its way onto these lists. The marketer then uses special software that can send hundreds of thousands - even millions - of email messages to the addresses at the click of a mouse.
How Can I Reduce the Amount of Spam that I Receive?
Try not to display your email address in public. That includes newsgroup postings, chat rooms, websites or in an online service's membership directory. You may want to opt out of member directories for your online services; spammers may use them to harvest addresses.
Check the privacy policy when you submit your address to a website. See if it allows the company to sell your address. You may want to opt out of this provision, if possible, or not submit your address at all to websites that won't protect it.
Read and understand the entire form before you transmit personal information through a website. Some websites allow you to opt out of receiving email from their "partners" - but you may have to uncheck a preselected box if you want to opt out.
Decide if you want to use two email addresses - one for personal messages and one for newsgroups and chat rooms. You also might consider using a disposable email address service that creates a separate email address that forwards to your permanent account. If one of the disposable addresses begins to receive spam, you can shut it off without affecting your permanent address.
Use a unique email address. Your choice of email addresses may affect the amount of spam you receive. Spammers use "dictionary attacks" to sort through possible name combinations at large ISPs or email services, hoping to find a valid address. Thus, a common name such as jdoe may get more spam than a more unique name like jd51x02oe. Of course, there is a downside - it's harder to remember an unusual email address.
Use an email filter. Check your email account to see if it provides a tool to filter out potential spam or a way to channel spam into a bulk email folder. You might want to consider these options when you're choosing which Internet Service Provider (ISP) to use.
What Can I Do With the Spam in my In-Box?
Report it to the Federal Trade Commission. Send a copy of unwanted or deceptive messages to spam@uce.gov. The FTC uses the unsolicited emails stored in this database to pursue law enforcement actions against people who send deceptive spam email.
Let the FTC know if a "remove me" request is not honored. If you want to complain about a removal link that doesn't work or not being able to unsubcribe from a list, you can fill out the FTC's online complaint form at www.ftc.gov. Your complaint will be added to the FTC's Consumer Sentinel database and made available to hundreds of law enforcement and consumer protection agencies.
Whenever you complain about spam, it's important to include the full email header. The information in the header makes it possible for consumer protection agencies to follow up on your complaint.
Send a copy of the spam to your ISP's abuse desk. Often the email address is abuse@yourispname.com or postmaster@yourispname.com. By doing this, you can let the ISP know about the spam problem on their system and help them to stop it in the future. Make sure to include a copy of the spam, along with the full email header. At the top of the message, state that you're complaining about being spammed.
Complain to the sender's ISP. Most ISPs want to cut off spammers who abuse their system. Again, make sure to include a copy of the message and header information and state that you're complaining about spam.
How Can I Avoid Spam Scams?
The FTC suggests that you treat commercial email solicitations the same way you would treat an unsolicited telemarketing sales call. Don't believe promises from strangers. Greet money making opportunities that arrive at your in box with skepticism. Most of the time, these are old fashioned scams delivered via the newest technology.
Here are some of the most common scam offers likely to arrive by email:
* Chain letters. Chain letters that involve money or valuable items and promise big returns are illegal. If you start one or send one on, you are breaking the law. Chances are you will receive little or no money back on your "investment". Despite the claims, a chain letter will never make you rich. For more information on chain emails, check out www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/online/emailusers.htm.
* Work-At-Home Schemes. Not all work at home opportunities deliver on their promises. Many ads omit the fact that you may have to work many hours without pay. Or they don't disclose all the costs you will have to pay. Countless work at home schemes require you to spend your own money to place newspaper ads; make photocopies; or buy the envelopes, paper, stamps, and other supplies or equipment you need to do the job. The companies sponsoring the ads also may demand that you pay for instructions or "tutorial" software. Consumers deceived by these ads have lost thousands of dollars, in addition to their time and energy.
* Weight Loss Claims. Programs or products that promote easy or effortless long term weight loss don't work. Taking off weight, and keeping it off, requires exercise and permanent changes in your diet. All the testimonials and guarantees in your email are not worth the space they take up on your hard drive.
* Credit Repair Offers. Ignore offers to erase accurate negative information from your credit record. There's no legal way to do that.
* Advance Fee Loan Scams. Be wary of promises to provide a loan for a fee, regardless of your past credit history. Remember, legitimate banks don't issue credit cards without first checking your credit.
* Adult Entertainment. You may get an email from an adult entertainment site that claims to offer content for "free" and doesn't require a credit card number for access. All you have to do is download a "viewer" or "dialer" program. However, once the program is downloaded onto your computer, it may disconnect your Internet connection and reconnect to an international long distance phone number, at rates between $2 and $7 a minute. Be skeptical when you see opportunities to view "free" content on the web.

What happened to free Internet access?
When Did Free Internet Access Start?
The concept of free Internet access started way back in 1998. Soon there dozens of free Internet providers boasting millions of registered users. Names such as FreeWWWeb, Free Internet, WorldSpy, NetZero, Juno, Kmart's BlueLight, American Express AMEXOL, just to name a few.
How Did Free Internet Access Work?
With most free Internet access providers, you had a floating advertising banner on your screen while you were online. Some of them made you click on an advertisement periodically or they disconnect you. The free ISP received advertising and e-commerce revenues to help offset the costs of providing the free Internet access.
FreeWWWeb & WorldSpy were fast, reliable, highly rated Nationwide Free ISPs that didn't require a floating advertising bar. I used these free Internet providers myself for several months and was very satisfied with their performance and reliability.
How Was Free Internet Access Marketed?
FreeInternet.com, a popular free isp, spent over 89 million dollars in venture capital on operational losses and advertising campaigns. FreeInternet's advertising campaigns included a television commercial staring basketball star Shaquille O'Neal and Baby Bob, an animated baby character.
Kmart and American Express also spent millions of dollars marketing their free Internet services. Kmart distributed millions of BlueLight free Internet CDs through it's large network of retail stores.
What Happened?
Unfortunately, at least for free Internet access customers, all good things come to an end and free Internet providers proved to be no exception. The advertising and e-commerce supported free Internet access model collapsed more rapidly than ENRON.
By the July of 2000 virtually all the free Internet service providers had filed for bankruptcy, shut down or discontinued offering free Internet access.
Kmart even discontinued it's popular BlueLight free Internet service and started referring it's existing free ISP customers to NetZero.
Did Any Free ISPs Survive?
NetZero and Juno were exceptions, they continued to provide advertising and commerce supported free Internet access. They also acquired certain assets and customers of FreeInternet.com, FreeWWWeb.com & WorldSpy.com now defunct free ISPs.
As time passed NetZero and Juno limited their free Internet service in an attempt to entice their existing customers to switch to one of their paid Internet access plans. Soon after NetZero joined forces with Juno to form the company United Online.
Can I Still Get Free Internet Service?
As of November 28, 2006 when this article was written, NetZero was still offering 10 hours per month of free Internet access.
* NetZero 10 Free Hours / Month
o 10 free hours of web surfing
o Free 1 GB email account
o Spam and email virus protection
o Thousands of access numbers
The rest of the former free ISPs have either been acquired by other companies or been converted to fee for service ($$$) Internet service providers.
Are There Low Cost Alternatives?
Basically there are two options when it comes to cheap Internet access. You can choose a low cost dial up or high speed broadband service provider.
* Dial Up Internet Access
o Lowest cost
o Single computer
o Light to moderate use
o Ties up a phone line
o Slow download speeds
If you need light to moderate Internet access on a single computer, then standard or accelerated dial up Internet access is the cheaper option and provides reasonable service for a lower cost.
If you choose one of the inexpensive dial-up Internet providers that we feature. You'll receive dependable dial up Internet service for the lowest monthly cost.
* High Speed Internet Access
o Higher cost
o Multiple computers
o Heavy use
o Doesn't tie up a phone line
o Fast download speeds
If you want to connect multiple computers to the Internet simultaneously or are a heavy Internet user, then you should consider upgrading to a broadband high speed connection.
Anyone who has surfed the net using a traditional dial up Internet connection is aware of how painfully slow web pages seem to load. Broadband high speed Internet access is extremely fast and increasingly becoming a virtual necessity in today's high tech society.
ISP 1 suggests that you try one of our low cost high speed Internet providers that meets your specific needs and expectations. You'll receive blazing fast, reliable high speed Internet service for a reasonable monthly cost.

Broadband Satellite Internet
What Is Satellite Internet?
High-speed Internet is increasingly becoming a must have service for today's bandwith hungry Internet users.
Satellite Internet is a high speed broadband solution for rural or remote areas where DSL or high-speed cable Internet access is not available. Broadband satellite Internet is available just about anywhere in North America with an unobstructed view of the southern sky.
If you want a high speed Internet connection, and cable or DSL are not options then broadband satellite Internet access is the best route to take.
How Does Satellite Internet Work?
A satellite dish is mounted on the exterior of your home or business.
High speed data is transferred to the ISP's Network Operations Center "NOC" through the satellite dish via a satellite modem that connects to your computer.
Internet data requests are sent up to a satellite that relays the request down to the NOC. The satellite Internet provider's NOC provides a very high-speed connection to the Internet. Your data request is processed by the NOC and then sent the up to the orbiting satellite which in turn relays the data down through your satellite dish to your satellite modem. The satellite modem then transmits the data through your computer's Network Interface Card "NIC", and your PC processes the data.
One-way or two-way Satellite service?
There are two different types of satellite service, one-way and two-way.
With one-way service the satellite can't transmit and only only receives downstream data. This configuration requires you to use a dial-up Internet connection to send internet requests or upload files. Downstream data and file downloads are then processed by your satellite modem.
With two-way service the satellite modem processes both uploads and downloads, and a dial-up connection is unnecessary.
The two-way option is definitely the way to go if your satellite Internet service provider offers it.
Why Is Satellite Internet Better Than Dial-Up?
Satellite Internet is significantly faster than traditional dial-up Internet access.
This increased speed gives you the option of sharing your broadband satellite Internet connection on multiple computers in your home or office. Even if you are only using one computer to access the Internet, downloads that took hours with dial up are now completed in minutes. No more waiting for updates or large files to download. Web pages containing graphic animation, movie clips, or streaming audio will load much faster than dial up. Downloading large files such as photos and video email attachments is much faster.
With two-way satellite Internet service you are always connected to the Internet. There is no need to dial an ISP, so you can surf the Internet without tying up your home phone line.
How Fast Is Satellite Internet?
Broadband satellite Internet service is not as fast as it's DSL or cable counterparts, however it's significantly faster than a traditional dial up Internet connection.
Satellite Internet transmission speeds will vary depending on a number of factors. Type of satellite service, provider package, weather conditions, signal losses and other factors will affect transmission speeds.
Broadband satellite Internet download speeds typically range between one hundred kilo bits per second "Kbps" and several hundred Kbps.
How much does Satellite Internet cost?
Satellite Internet access is generally more costly than DSL, cable, or dial-up and requires more equipment, namely a satellite dish mounted on the outside of your home or office.
In addition to increased service fees, you will also need to purchase a satellite dish and modem and pay to have the dish installed. If you have the skills you can opt to install the dish yourself. Most satellite providers have a self-installation kit available for a small fee.
What Equipment Do I Need?
A satellite network interface commonly called a "satellite modem" connects to a two or three foot satellite dish or base station that is installed on the outside your home or office.
Your computer's network card is then connected to satellite modem using a standard CAT5 network patch cable. Many computers come with the network card installed, otherwise they are relatively cheap and easy to install.
You can also connect your satellite modem to a router to provide broadband satellite Internet access to your entire home network.
HughesNet Satellite Provider

High-speed Internet is increasingly becoming a must have service for today's bandwith hungry Internet users.
Satellite Internet is a high speed broadband solution for rural or remote areas where DSL or high-speed cable Internet access is not available. Broadband satellite Internet is available just about anywhere in North America with an unobstructed view of the southern sky.
If you want a high speed Internet connection, and cable or DSL are not options then broadband satellite Internet access is the best route to take.
How Does Satellite Internet Work?
A satellite dish is mounted on the exterior of your home or business.
High speed data is transferred to the ISP's Network Operations Center "NOC" through the satellite dish via a satellite modem that connects to your computer.
Internet data requests are sent up to a satellite that relays the request down to the NOC. The satellite Internet provider's NOC provides a very high-speed connection to the Internet. Your data request is processed by the NOC and then sent the up to the orbiting satellite which in turn relays the data down through your satellite dish to your satellite modem. The satellite modem then transmits the data through your computer's Network Interface Card "NIC", and your PC processes the data.
One-way or two-way Satellite service?
There are two different types of satellite service, one-way and two-way.
With one-way service the satellite can't transmit and only only receives downstream data. This configuration requires you to use a dial-up Internet connection to send internet requests or upload files. Downstream data and file downloads are then processed by your satellite modem.
With two-way service the satellite modem processes both uploads and downloads, and a dial-up connection is unnecessary.
The two-way option is definitely the way to go if your satellite Internet service provider offers it.
Why Is Satellite Internet Better Than Dial-Up?
Satellite Internet is significantly faster than traditional dial-up Internet access.
This increased speed gives you the option of sharing your broadband satellite Internet connection on multiple computers in your home or office. Even if you are only using one computer to access the Internet, downloads that took hours with dial up are now completed in minutes. No more waiting for updates or large files to download. Web pages containing graphic animation, movie clips, or streaming audio will load much faster than dial up. Downloading large files such as photos and video email attachments is much faster.
With two-way satellite Internet service you are always connected to the Internet. There is no need to dial an ISP, so you can surf the Internet without tying up your home phone line.
How Fast Is Satellite Internet?
Broadband satellite Internet service is not as fast as it's DSL or cable counterparts, however it's significantly faster than a traditional dial up Internet connection.
Satellite Internet transmission speeds will vary depending on a number of factors. Type of satellite service, provider package, weather conditions, signal losses and other factors will affect transmission speeds.
Broadband satellite Internet download speeds typically range between one hundred kilo bits per second "Kbps" and several hundred Kbps.
How much does Satellite Internet cost?
Satellite Internet access is generally more costly than DSL, cable, or dial-up and requires more equipment, namely a satellite dish mounted on the outside of your home or office.
In addition to increased service fees, you will also need to purchase a satellite dish and modem and pay to have the dish installed. If you have the skills you can opt to install the dish yourself. Most satellite providers have a self-installation kit available for a small fee.
What Equipment Do I Need?
A satellite network interface commonly called a "satellite modem" connects to a two or three foot satellite dish or base station that is installed on the outside your home or office.
Your computer's network card is then connected to satellite modem using a standard CAT5 network patch cable. Many computers come with the network card installed, otherwise they are relatively cheap and easy to install.
You can also connect your satellite modem to a router to provide broadband satellite Internet access to your entire home network.

High Speed Cable Internet
What Is Cable Internet?
Cable Internet is a fast new way to access the Internet via your cable television wiring. Slow traditional dial up modems are rapidly being replaced by super high speed broadband cable modems.
The demand for faster Internet speeds to support new features such as streaming video and live web casts has made affordable high speed cable Internet access very popular.
Broadband cable Internet access is available in many areas for an reasonable monthly cost of between $40 - $60.
How Does Cable Internet Work?
Cable Internet transmits high speed data signals over the coaxial cables that supply the cable television signals to your home or business.
Cable Internet technology utilizes cable channels specifically reserved for data transfer. A splitter is installed on the incoming coaxial tv cable. One connection supplies your television sets with cable tv programming, and the other feeds a cable modem. The cable modem sends and receives Internet data by interfacing your computer to high speed equipment owned or leased by the cable company. This provides simultaneous high speed broadband Internet access and digital television programming.
How Fast Is Cable Internet?
Cable Internet transmission speeds vary due to the fact that you have to share that bandwidth of the channel with other cable Internet users.
Broadband cable Internet speeds range between several hundred kilo bits per second "Kbps" to several millions of bits per second "Mbps". However, even the slowest cable Internet connection is many times faster than a traditional dial up Internet connection.
Why Is Cable Internet Better?
Broadband cable Internet access provides numerous advantages over a standard dial-up Internet connection.
With high speed cable Internet service you are always connected to the net. There is no need to dial an ISP, so you can surf the Internet without tying up your home phone line.
In addition to the convenience, cable provides blazing fast download speeds. No more waiting for updates or large files to download. Web pages containing Flash animation, Quicktime movies, or Media Player video clips will load much faster than dial up. Sending & receiving large files such as photos and video email attachments is a breeze.
Broadband cable Internet also enables you to use VoIP "Voice over Internet Protocol" Internet telephone services such as Vontage. Using VoIP you can make voice calls using a touch tone telephone and a broadband cable Internet connection instead of a regular telephone line. VoIP phone services are usually much cheaper than traditional telephone service.
What Equipment Do I Need?
A cable network interface commonly called a "cable modem" connects to the incoming coaxial television cable.
Your computer's network card is then connected to cable modem using a standard CAT5 network patch cable. Many computers come with the network card installed, otherwise they are cheap and install easily.
