Well for starters Copper.net beats AOL, MSN and EarthLink hands down in the price department! At $9.95 per month for standard dial up service, Copper.net customers spend half of what users with these "big boys" do. With thousands or access numbers, free email SPAM filtering, no intrusive software to download, and seven days a week tech support from Copper.net...why pay more?
Hope that answers your questions. Let us know if you have more!
