There are, or used to be, 'free' ISPs but you had to endure adds adds adds. I've heard of $10 per month ones but they are probably add choked as well. I pay $20 bucks a month for a 28.8 dialup and that's all the local Verizon lines will handle anyway. No adds. Pretty reliable. Look in your yellow pages.

How can your lines handle only 28.8? You mean you local dial-up server right? The phone standard is 56k. You can only get up to 53k due to regulations on it though.
