While many users have moved on from dial up technology to faster types of internet connection hardware, a lot of people still keep dial up internet connections. Why? Generally it is because dial up internet providers offer lower rates than high speed internet. Some internet providers even offer free internet dial up with special deals that may include using a dial up program for free dial up internet that displays ads while you surf. Free dialup is a good deal if you can get it, but free dial up may limit your speed and be too slow for many people. For only a couple dollars a month you can get high speed dial up internet.

A dial up ISP usually provides this standard level of speed, although there may be other higher levels with high speed modems, and prices are generally less than twenty dollars (or even ten dollars) a month.
