dish,

If you come back to check make sure you understand the hosts file and what it can do to speed up browsing on a dial up.

Thanks to Asheville Native for the original post with this link.

The "high speed" package isn't really broadband, but it is an accelerator that does a really good job of speeding things up when you're browsing online.
Its always best to read the terms of service before you commit to anything. Copper.net does charge you a 15.00 cancellation fee & unlimited usage is limited to two 4 hour sessions daily (service will automatically shut off after 4 hrs & you must wait 1 min to reconnect) per email address. http://www.copper.net/TOS/DialupTOS.aspx

Do you really think aquila is still around to read your response that they posted over 4 years ago?

It's always best to read the date someone posted their comments or the date of the OP.....

One would assume since no-one has posted in this thread since 3/14/2009 there is no interest on the subject.

In fact the two threads on dial-up Internet were both a few years old until you decided to reopen them...
