I get spoiled at work with T1 speed.  At home I use dowco.
All info in free starter kits at PC Galore near 4th and Macdonald in
Kits. Software and free one week access. Installation guide and
Netscape booklet.  Flat unlimited rate - $19.95/mo or $29.95/mo with
web page. One time set-up fees - $19.95 (+ $50.00 for web page) I
chose the $19.95 rate. Only one minor gripe - around
3900 newsgroups. Most alt binaries carried. The ones cut are the
regional ones. Will add if you request any. I am going to do a free 
web page at
