Internet access is a business dominated by a few big names, and the circle is getting smaller all the time, especially if you're looking for broadband access. As AT&T fights to acquire still more influence over what you can access on the Internet - and how much you'll pay for it - many people are finding that the real 21st century ISP is the dial-up Internet service provider around the corner. The advantages to choosing a dial-up provider as your 21st century ISP may surprise you.

Real Choice

Broadband access via cable or satellite is expensive, and is getting more so as the field of competition shrinks. Unlike dial-up Internet service providers, cable broadband providers have staked out their territories across the nation. If you live in an area where Comcast has struck a deal, you're not going to have the choice to go with Charter no matter how much you'd prefer to switch. By contrast, every area of the country is served by multiple dial up service providers, giving you a real choice. When you choose a dial up ISP as your 21st century ISP, you can make a real choice with your internet dollars rather than being stuck with whatever your county or city council has decided is the best broadband choice for you.

Better Service

Dial up ISPs face stiffer competition from other Internet service providers, not only among themselves but with the broadband giants. That means they work harder for your business and do more to ensure your loyalty. If you want the advantages of great service, a help desk that really helps and Internet services that are just a click away, a local dial up service provider is the way to go. And since many of them offer dial-up numbers all over the country, you can get that local service no matter where you are.

Lower Prices

In the 21st century, ISP services have become one of the major household expenses. Cable and satellite broadband Internet is expensive, and since there's little competition to provide services for less, prices aren't likely to come down any time soon. Dial up providers have fewer expenses and lots more incentive to keep your prices low. In most cases, you can get unlimited dial up internet access for about $10 a month - close to 75% less than you'll usually pay for broadband internet access.

Service Anywhere

With broadband Internet access via cable or satellite, you're out of luck if you want to connect when you're away from home. You only have access when you're within range of your modem or dish. With dial up Internet service, you can have Internet access anywhere you have a telephone line. And while dial-up may be slower, it's also more reliable than many broadband connections. As long as you have telephone service, you'll have Internet access.

Faster Connection Options

Today, most dial up Internet service providers offer options for higher speed connections to all of their customers, either in the form of Internet accelerator software or in the form of DSL service. While it's not as fast as most broadband services, it's astronomically faster than old-fashioned dial up services.

If you're looking for a reliable, truly unlimited and inexpensive alternative to the broadband services available in your area, take a second look at dial up Internet service providers for your 21st century ISP needs.
