[Tfug] [OT] Avoiding having to pay for a DSL ISP?

[Ken Steen]

I posted on the list about Qwest's basic internet service.  It was $8.95
a month plus whatever connection speed you chose.  I had that service
about three years ago.  I had to switch to Cox when I moved.  I don't
know whether they still offer it or not but you can call their customer
service and ask.  The plan did not have email or newsgroups.  It was
just a connection.
