    If you must choose one go with People PC it's owned by Earthlink and has good customer service. However I would recommend geting DSL through your local phone company. AT&T has DSL for 14.95 a month just $5 more than Dial-Up. Verizon DSL is also very reasonable. Plus, you can use your phone while your online.

    I ought to presume you're obtusely asserting the line gets dropped while you're dialed in. the rationalization it occurs is using line static that interferes with the information communications. The server believes this is lost the relationship on your pc so it closes this is end of the relationship. If it somewhat is the situation, then you definately'll nevertheless have problems with any dialup ISP. you in all probability have previous telephone wiring on your place, or you're making use of an rather, very long telephone extension twine, or you're working your telephone twine close to something that produces an electromagnetic container and this is corrupting the sign. i could get a top high quality modem telephone twine (it somewhat is sheilded and twisted) to expire of your modem to the telephone jack, and that i could redo the telephone wires from the jack to the substantial telephone line (this is usuallly in the basement). If that doesn't fix it, then this is the telephone corporation's fault. in all probability between the domicile and community junction container.

    i had both people and netzero

    but they r both slow

    road runner is the best

    but if u wanna be more cheap go with people pc

    netzero is unreliable

    it used to get offline by itself

    u should look into the all in one at time warner cable

    or also Yahoo has DSL for 15 bucks look at the info

    Neither one are worth the money. They both are so bad I can not say which is best.
