Sorry Idealist I didn't mean to cause confusion.

My ISP only cost $5 a month. I love it. It is very reliable and basic....not a lot of bells and whistles that they are trying to sell me constantly, just reliability. Their allotment is quite generous and as a rule I've had no problems with the time. Between trying to establish myself here and going back to OBT to see old friends and get access, hopefully, to the archives I just overdid it. I also have a problem in that if hubby is making suspicious noises I run into his room...many times not taking the time to log off. If he sneezes and can't breathe because his nose if full then I must respond instantly...he also needs to be suctioned but can only be when he coughs the "junk" up...again I need to move like Supergirl (LOL). Most dial-up ISP's have a limit of some sort at least the ones I explored.
