It's generally about $15-25USD per month. $20 is an exceedingly average
price. Some providers charge a couple dollars more. Others will charge
a little less if you pay for several months in advance. If you get a
second phone line, you can expect to pay around $20/month for that as
well.
Is the call included in the 20$ cost?
In france we have to pay the line for data access and for voice
access (even local call) and we also need to give money to the ISP.
In France I was using a bundle including the ISP fee and 50 hours of
communications for 98francs (~13 US$).
> What are the provider names ?
There are local providers such as Netaxs (http://www.netaxs.com/) and
DCANet (http://www.dca.net/) and national providers such as EarthLink
(http://www.earthlink.net/). I know that I've seen someone post a URL
containing a semi-definitive list of ISPs before, but I don't know where
it is; perhaps someone else will know. There is some discussion of this
archived at <http://www.phillylinux.org/isps/>, and there appears to be
many relevant hits at
<http://www.google.com/search?q=philadelphia+dialup>.
Netaxs seems to be the more often mentioned.
Hope that helps.
Yes that helps.
Thank you.
