3.     My Information

ISPs, Internet Service Providers

ISPs that Cost $$$

AT&T 14.95 150 6 emails
AT&T 4.95 150 w/Advertisements 6 emails
Reference: http://download.att.net/partners/
Conclusion: I would purchase my internet service from AT&T for 150 hours per month allowing me to save $7.00/ month over the unlimited plan.  This would give me 5 hrs. per day of net access and that meets my current internet needs.

Conclusion:  I have used NetZero's free ISP and it is a good service to use when you are in a location that does  not have a local call to your ISP.  With the current build out of all the POPs, points of presence of these large ISPs, this usually is not an issue.
