There was a discussion the other day about ISPs for 56K, and Earthlink was mentioned several times. I experienced frustratingly frequent disconnections with them, though I'm not sure what was to blame for that. I've been using NetZero now, however, for several weeks and have had zero problems,

You have to use their software only to dial up. After you're logged on, you can use the browser and e-mailer of your choice. Haven't had to use their service/tech support so I cannot comment. Am using it with OS9 and it works great, and I assume it works well with OSX as well but have no

I have a local service provider, since I'm disabled, I get a discount from 19.95 to 9.95 per month. They're not real hip about Macs, but then I don't have all that much trouble. I like the idea of the money staying here in my community, something that's harder and harder to accomplish. I just

I'm on DSL with Verizon but I've been subscribed to MacDialup.net for when I'm traveling. They are very knowledgeable about the Mac, providing even setup information for OS X and have various networks when you can have local access from all over the US *and* Canada. Their basic service starts at

I used earthlink via cable for a few years and had no problems but switched to Verizon DSL last summer because the price was really great, much less than the earthlink. I have had no problems at all, highly recommend Verizon as they do have very knowledgeable Mac support people. Another thing

Hi, I've been a Earthlink user for a few years, and have been pretty happy. I tried their DSL services, but found the price to be too steep for me. I recently spoke to someone from Verizon, and was surprised at how inexpensive DSL was compared to Earthlink. I would greatly appreciate any
