I'm trying to save money for school so I'm getting rid of my broadband connection and seeking something very cheep. NetZero seems to be the way to go. Does anyone here have opinions on NetZero or other ISPs? Thanks.

My brother has been using Juno.com as his dial-up connection for years. He's happy with it and spends a couple hours a day online usually getting about a 46K connection. I believe NetZero is/was associated with them.

I have not personally tried NetZero, but I have heard mixed reviews about their service. Some people have found it to be a good, affordable option for internet access, while others have experienced slow speeds and frequent disconnections. It may be worth researching other ISPs in your area to compare prices and customer reviews before making a decision. Additionally, it's important to consider your internet needs and make sure the service you choose will be able to meet them. Good luck with your search!
