Does anyone on the site here have a regular old fashioned internet service provider that doesn't cost hundreds of dollars each month?  

Long story short, we have to get a new ISP for our business.  We don't want anything fancy, just regular dial-up.  We would like something relatively fast and dirt cheap.  Is there such a thing?

Any first hand experience is prefered.

Good question, BASS fisherman.  I would definitely be interested in a new one for my home service.  We have high speed DSL from Sprint (now Embarq).  When we first signed up they offered it for $24.95 a month for the first year and the man I talked to on the phone said, "Well, the regular price will probably be down to that by the end of your year anyway."  He also said that this $24.95 would be added to our phone bill with another "tax" of some sort.  When I asked him how much the "tax" would be I couldn't pin him down on a number, although he indicated that it wouldn't be "too" expensive.  Prior to DSL we paid a total of around $55.00 for phone service.  Since adding DSL and after the $24.95 trial went up to $39.95, we now pay upwards of $109 a month for the whole deal.  I've been really happy with the service, but I now pay (with additional phone/communications taxes) $55 a month for internet.  Sure, it's much better than the old dial-up for $19.95, but surely there's someone else out there for less than that and not through my phone company (which, I think, adds to the taxes and surcharges).  Yahoo and SBC are not available in my area and the Direct TV/ Hughes net is just as expensive.  It looks like my phone company pretty much has a monopoly on it.  

I use Toast.net here at home. Dial up with 7x accelerator and EZ Anti virus is only 12.95 a month. I am on the PC all day or night at the Hospital and only use this at home . I have had it about 2 yrs without any problems. Hey, use my name ( Jim Blair ) and I think we both get like a 20 dollar break after ninety days or something like that if you sign up. ____Jim

But Jim, is it actually only 12.95 each month, or is that just what they charge you for a preset number of minutes you are alotted each month?  

Unlimited my friend. I posted a link for you. Can't beat it. Check it out or you could try People PC but, I think Toast will serve your needs just fine.
