Really sucks, but maybe someday there will be a faster option. Anyways, I&#8217;ve been using NetZero&#8217;s 3g high speed for the past 2 years without much of a problem. Lately though, the high speed part has been very flaky. It keeps disconnecting and speeds have been slow. The other day I got fed up and came across a couple of different providers with good reviews. One is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.toast.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Toast.net<\/a>. I haven&#8217;t tried it yet though. The one I&#8217;m trying now is <a href=\"https:\/\/sub.copper.net\/promo\/5032955.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Copper.net High Speed<\/a>. They have a really good deal going on right now, which is why I tried it first. It&#8217;s $1 for 3 months, after which you can cancel if not satisfied. So far it&#8217;s not bad. Netzero would always take a long time to load certain sites, such as blogs, including this one. <a href=\"https:\/\/sub.copper.net\/promo\/5032955.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Copper.net <\/a>doesn&#8217;t seem to have that problem. My blog actually loads pretty quick. The only drawback so far is Copper.net&#8217;s high speed also seems to have a problem staying connected initially. Once it gets going though it is fine. So far connection speeds seem a bit faster than Netzero.<br \/>Regular price for the high speed version is $14.95 per month. Without high speed, it&#8217;s $9.95 per month. The customer service number is also free. Unlike Netzero, which charges $2 per minute. Most numbers are V.92. You get a free 25mb email address. There seem to be a lot of access numbers, although just 2 for my area, but it&#8217;s rural. <a href=\"https:\/\/sub.copper.net\/promo\/5032955.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Copper.net <\/a>connects faster than Netzero, since it uses the built in dial-up networking in Windows. Netzero has it&#8217;s own java application, which is much slower. <a href=\"https:\/\/sub.copper.net\/promo\/5032955.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Copper.net <\/a> also lets you stay connected for a maximum of 4 hours, whereas Netzero disconnects you after 3 hours. If you&#8217;re looking for a new dial up isp or a backup internet connection, you might want to check out <a href=\"https:\/\/sub.copper.net\/promo\/5032955.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Copper.net<\/a>.<br \/>BTW, Copper.net&#8217;s high speed is also compatible with the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B0006ZTERE\/105-8233168-8338006?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=extcas-20&amp;linkCode=xm2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creativeASIN=B0006ZTERE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wiflyer<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I think I&#8217;ve mentioned before that all I can get in my area for an internet connection is dial up.
