Fast Internet Connection
More and more people are useing the internet to research and book travel. You don´t need to waste time waiting for a slow connection. You have a couple of options if you´re looking for a fast internet connection.

One option is to speed up your dial-up connection. NetZero HiSpeed is an exciting new product from NetZero that accelerates your Web surfing experience using your existing phone jack and modem. NetZero HiSpeed INCLUDES the NetZero Platinum service and requires NO additional equipment and NO waiting! It is the high-speed surfing solution with the convenience of dial-up.

For example, while www.amazon.com may take up to 17.4 seconds to load on a standard dial-up connection, the waiting time drops to 4.3 seconds when you use the Net Zero Platinum. You can learn more by going directly to Act Now - NETZERO Platinum - Get RELIABLE, UNLIMITED SURFING for only $9.95 per month..

The second option is to use a DSL connection. You´ll pay about double the price but you get a connection that is up to 70 times faster than dial-up based on the average speed between a 28.8K modem and a 56K modem. Actual download speeds may vary depending on distance, line quality, and phone service provider. Another benefit is that a DSL connection does not tie up your phone line. You can surf the internet and chat on the phone at the same time.

Our recommendation goes to EarthLink Internet Access. The Earthlink service comes with a free Pop Up Blocker and spamBlocker tool. You can learn more by visiting EarthLink.
