Internet AccessThere used to be several companies that provided a free internet account, however, this has not been a profitable venture and several have discontinued this service. NetZero is one of the few companies still offering free access. If their free service is not satisfactory, they offer unlimited access for $9.95 per month. AOL, Earthlink, Prodigy, PacBell, and AT&T are all large providers with services typically costing from $19.95 to 21.95 for unlimited access. They have less expensive plans for a fixed number of hours. These services will allow you to establish a web based email account as well as browse the Internet.
