On June 30 my ISP will no longer exist. This means I must get a new provider, new email address and new site to hold my Website information.

I've checked into several dialups (High speed is not available where I live) and the one that comes up with the highest rating is Copper. Has anyone here used this ISP server? If so, let me know how you like or dislike it.

Thanks,

Gary

Donny,

Comcast and Clearview are both here, but the cost is outrageous. It's a gotcha with them because we live in the sticks. Internet alone is about $75 a month. They just began with a package deal for $99 for Internet, telephone and TV, but that's an introductory price. It jumps dramatically after the first year and you have to sign a two-year contract.

I'll stick with dial-up. At my age I'm no longer in a hurry to do anything.

Gary

Gary, just ONE Nursing Home job a MONTH will more than pay the difference for high speed. It's well worth it. I would burn my computer if I had to go back to dial-up!

Gary, ok I just though it wasnt offered in your area.... I know what you mean, my comcast cable/internet bill is upwards of around $175.00 a month........I dont mind though, it gives me enjoyment. I could waste money on all kinds of other junk like cigarettes, lottery, liquor, etc etc .....
so its not that bad to have super fast Internet and 400 channels!

I'm gonna' stick with dialup and spend the money I save on a new sailboat. Just looked at a 47-foot Morgan Out-Island--WOW! Six NH jobs a month will cover the payments if I have to finance it, which ain't bad at all. Still negotiating with the seller on the price, but it may be a done deal in the next few months. (Havn't told Carol yet! But, if she throws me out of the house I'll have someplace to live. )

Cheers,

Gary

I know this is not what you are looking for but I switched to verizon DSL 24.99 a month and I don't have a home phone with verizon.
Just the plain dsl not the fancy package and I can't tell the difference between this and cable...except it's half price.
