Many choices exist today to get connected to the internet.
Please keep in mind that, though this page exists for informative purposes, we can't usually help with troubleshooting problems with connecting to ISP's because we have no way of knowing anything about their services or their specific settings required for connecting. This is convenient if you travel with you computer from time to time. They will generally send you a software package in the mail to install on your computer to begin connecting to the internet. Generally though, ISP software does do a good job of setting up your dial-in computer so that you're ready to connect to the internet. These companies don't charge you anything for access to the internet.
