I also have a wireless broadband card as a backup, but in addition to NetZero, I believe Speakeasy still offers dial up service as well. http://www.speakeasy.net

Bill,

I am not an expert on the telcom industry, but my impression is that
most providers are discontinuing their dial-up services. I have not had
a dial-up account in years and I only have one old computer that
actually as a dial-up modem. I couldn't tell you the last time I used
it.

My "solution" for a back-up connect is a broadband card from my cellular
provider. This does involve a monthly service contract and I'm sure is
a bit more pricey than a dial-up service, but I can easily cost justify
it with just one trade not to mention the need I have to access the
Internet when away from home.

I know others who prefer the low cost if not outright free option of
poaching off of someone's Wi-Fi service. They just run over to the
public library, the local coffee house, etc. Anywhere that offers free
Wi-Fi or access with the purchase of a cup of coffee. Maybe not an
ideal solution, but it gets them out of the house.

With all that said, I think Net Zero still offers dial up service
(http://www.netzero. net/). If not, I'd suggest searching Google for
"dial up internet service."
