Is the I-net dial-up account of $6.95/ month based on only a month-to-
month renewal?
Questions: Is cablenet the same thing as one's local cable TV's cable
modem system?
Isn't DSL still very expensive? Doesn't the ISP offering DSL service
charge $60 to $80 per month? Plus, in addition, doesn't the local
phone company charge big fees for DSL phone service?
IMHO, a $10/month ISP dial-up connection system will be around for a
long time. Comments?
