The following is taken from C4 teletext p.652 of a few weeks ago :

        Compuserve SPRYTE
        Internet access only
        $4.95 a month (3 hrs)
        $1.95 per extra hour
        Own web page 
        (available by the end of '95)

I cannot recommend them as i have had no dealings with Compuserve.

I make no comment on the desirability of the above other than to declare my
faith in the ability of the free market to stumble ,eventually , toward a
situation where most consumers will receive an acceptable product at a
reasonable price.
