[TWC] How many hrs of dial up do they give? in Road Runner http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r14363877 en Sat, 05 Dec 2009 20:39:18 EDT Sat, 05 Dec 2009 20:39:18 EDT Re: [TWC] How many hrs of dial up do they give? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14418224 Mele20 : That is no longer true. RR National Help Desk told me some time ago that it is now totally free, unlimited, and no credit card is asked for. Those of us who got it long ago and had to a give credit card number, that number has been destroyed and there is no record on file of the number we gave. Road Runner made a decision to make it totally free forever. The National Help Desk encourages users to use it when RR is down in addition to using it when traveling. (Of course, anything can change and "forever" isn't cast in concrete but for the foreseeable future at least, RR dial up is free and unlimited).

So basically unlimited ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14412597 Wed, 21 Sep 2005 13:35:13 EDT Re: [TWC] How many hrs of dial up do they give? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14407418 Mele20 :

Does Road Runner still ask for a Credit Card number in order to use their dial up service.

Thanks in advance
No, they no longer ask for a credit card. They still have mine though. I wish they would destroy the old information.

You do need to set up the software (ICC2000). The only irritating thing about it is that everytime it connects, it checks for new phone numbers and takes a long time downloading them at dialup speed. I'm connecting from home and don't need the new numbers but I see no way to bypass that.

I wasn't asked for a credit card or any other info. I believe all I had to do was go to an "activation" web site and log in with the ID and password for the main e-mail address.

They readily acknowledge that it is there for use when RR goes down. It isn't intended, of course, for all the time use. It is for BACKUP and for traveling.

Edit: It is unlimited usage for free. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14402824 Tue, 20 Sep 2005 07:56:29 EDT Re: [TWC] How many hrs of dial up do they give? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14364133 CO_Chris : Thanks alot I think the place i am staying in CO next month has free internet via wifi. but there will be times i might need to dial up and 10 Hrs from AOL just might not work.

Thanks again]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14364133 Wed, 14 Sep 2005 17:14:49 EDT Re: [TWC] How many hrs of dial up do they give? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14364109 scots : I seem to recall that it's unlimited, but they make it clear that it's not there for you to be using all the time or as a backup when your cable modem goes out. Their intended purpose of it is to check your e-mail and do some light web browsing while traveling. If you have the free AOL with Road Runner, you get 10 hours of AOL dialup included.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14364109 Wed, 14 Sep 2005 17:11:12 EDT Re: [TWC] How many hrs of dial up do they give? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14363898 cable1969 : I believe its unlimited now. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14363898 Wed, 14 Sep 2005 16:48:11 EDT [TWC] How many hrs of dial up do they give? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14363877 CO_Chris : How many hrs of dial up do they give?
