said by Fox McCloud:first of, let's assume for a moment that Dial-up is $5 a month....ok...most of the basic phone service out there, after tax, costs you $30-$33 a month...now add on $5 to that.
That's $35-38 a month....are you really saving that much? One could (if it's available, that is) get the lowest tiered dry DSL package and the cheapest VoIP plan and it'd likely be cheaper than that $30-$38, and you'd have way faster speeds to boot.
IMHO the only reason it's doing well is because people aren't looking at the big picture on the cost of dial-up here.
you beat me to it.
