If all they want is cheap email, go for the per-hour deal. You don't need 
more than a minute or two of connect time each day to handle email quite 
nicely. Just don't stay online while you read it and compose your replies.

Even newsgroups, if you are only tracking a few, takes very little connect 
time as long as you use an off-line reader.
