By the way toast is pretty good as far as I have heard. And "Pay annually and it's only $7.95/month!"

tommie I haven't had a phone line so long I really can't remember  Embarassed much about it but wouldn't something like "speed-dial" be faster than just "dial-up"?

I hope you find a better one.  Very Happy

This link shows 5 broadband providers for my phone #  :haha: now thats funny!

In reality there is one cable provider for 105/month for basic cable and  128k internet that works about 12 days out of the month....(this guy is not even on the list)...the rest of the IP's listed do not provide service here?

Maybe they are listed because they supply some part of your area code or your local area. I think only one needs to be there and the others can lease to get your business.

Sounds good to me, wish it worked that way. I would have it running instead of this satelite.

I live in Virginia  zip code 24179 and cannot get anything other than satellite.  Is there any dial up service that allows a router for other computers and does not tie up the phone line?  Or any other suggestions for rural areas that need fast connection for bidding on ebay and is not as expensive as satellite?

Have you checked out EVDO? Verizon and Sprint have it. It works on cell phone waves. Ad there are ways notto tie up the phone lines. Like a second line into the house, or they have items you can put on for the internet to interupt for calls.  Very Happy

For dial-up providers I would check out www.isp.com or www.neandertech.com . Basically it all boils down to who has the best servers in your area.

if you live in the US (not Alaska or Hawaii) you can most likely get WildBlue. They're cheapest package is 512Kbps down/128Kbps up and is i think $50 a month. Check into that...
As for dial-up, go with NetZero, they have 3G for $15 a month and its pretty quick. if you are getting such slow speeds you may have Pulse phone-lines in your house instead of Touch-Tone.
