I ways paying $20 a month for dialup, but when a got $500 phone bill, i soon went to ADSL and its much ,much better & cheaper than dialup.
For me, it was a lot more expensive using dialup when including all the calls and those damn drop outs all the time
, and people can't get through to you on the phone when your using the net, its well worth the extra bit of money for me anyway.
