Sorry for the vanity post here folks...but I'm looking for a free or low cost dial-up ISP for when I'm on the road. I've tried Juno but I can't stand that banner ad that's permanently docked. AOL is out of the question...your thoughts are appreciated!!
You get what you pay for.
Moreover, even if you used them, you'd discover you'd have to tolerate countless interruptions with pop-up ads, a smaller screen to accommodate advertising banners in the margins, and usually slower access (which would really eat up your rationed time).
I opted for Juno's PAID access, about $10 per month for unlimited time, which is half the price of MSN's regular access and about a fourth of the cable TV deluxe access, and about the only difference is that, when commencing my session, I have to click past two advertisements, which takes about ten seconds. If the Juno paid access is not as fast as the more expensive ISPs, I must admit that my computer and my typing skills are not so sophisticated as to make that difference significant to me.
I also use Hotmail's free e-mail service, which has the distinct advantage of being accessible (by password) from any terminal I might use while traveling, and the drawback to that free service is being able to keep only about 100 messages at a time but for $13 per Year I upgraded to five times more storage.
