Figured this could be useful for some especially if you want a backup internet connection or if you travel you can dial to this service from pretty much anywhere across the US and Canada

| Please do not tell me you actually belive this, you get what you pay for, and well that must have some kind of catch. |

I've seen this ISP before, and in the long run, it costs money. The thing is; the ISP itself is free. However you cannot use their service until you sign up for one of their affiliate programs (which cost money).

Hmm, only 1 year.
Doesn't look like they plan on staying in business long. |

Haha. That's funny. Some companies register URLs for one year because they are scared, like you said, that they might go out of business. Too bad they aren't optimistic...

dialuptothenet.com is actually my domain name .. and I always register for one year to see how it goes, especially when it only cost me $7
Judging from the response here it might not do so good, but maybe it will and people could decide to go for the premium package in favor of not using AOL. If that's the case and it does OK, I will be more than happy to register the name for longer. |

yalrighty, no disrespect intended. :oops:
It's a habit of mine to check ALL domain backgrounds before signing up for anything.
We all see countless domains popping up overnite and disappearing just as fast.
I wish you luck on your venture and advertising IS the key. |

| Well, if anything it gives me a realistic idea of what people might think of the service at first glance .. but I do need to advertise and do not have much experience in that area. |

Yeah well, your service isn't really "free".
It seems like you need to sign up with affiliate of yours and that means either way you'll need a Credit Card at the end.
Anyways I wish you luck on your buisness. |

| I'm currently working on a new splash page for the site but as for advertising, I'm not really sure of a good way to advertise and can't afford to pay to advertise lol. |

Well posting the URL in your signature is a good idea (which I see you're doing), and you can always write the URL on a bunch of dollar bills. (I think that's illegal; but oh well).
