Re: Nice Price
$4.95 for Copper.net? Must have been a promotion because it says $9.95 on their website. Terms of service says:
"User agrees to have their online session automatically terminated after fifteen (15) minutes of consecutive inactivity. Inactivity is defined as less than 500 bytes of data transferred between User"s modem and the Copper.net Service.
User agrees to have an online session automatically terminated after four (4) hours of consecutive time, regardless of data transferred during such specific online session."

In the *dark ages*, when I used dial-up, my last provider was frys.com for $5.99. Their policy is and I know this is true:
"With Fry's Basic service, you get unlimited Internet access, one email account, free 24/7 tech support and free webmail access to your email. What you don't get is ISP generated timeouts, disconnects or advertisements."

I suppose after 4 hours you have to wait one minute and then log in again. There is also a maximum monthly limit of 200 hours, or about 6 hours a day.
I've been very happy with their service, the support is top-notch, and they don't have a bunch of useless bells and whistles that piggybacked my Earthlink dial-up account. Simple and reliable.
Earthlink is still pitching $9.95/mo for the first 3 months then $21.95/mo after on their website. |
