| reply to BF69 $30 Dial Up.....
man, i could still remember the days when AOL/Compuserve charged customers $20-$30 a month for dial up...i wonder what happened to them now....
these gorillas are trying to milk every pennies out of us while they can....i am highly confident that broadband internet will be very cheap, much like dial up now, in the very near future. |

| reply to smokarz There was an upgrade option from dial-up, you could move to dsl or cable. Now that a lot of people have either of these what's the next step? There doesn't really seem to be one since AT&T is doing Uverse and only Verizon with Fios is doing something substantially different speedwise. With no really competition except cable, which around me tends to be more expensive anyway, I don't see prices doing anything but keep going up. |

You've not been online long enough. CompuServe in the 80's charged $22 an HOUR for prime time connection via dial up and that was in the days when 2400bits per second was considered 'blazing.' -- »www.Warpstock.org |
