Any thoughts on dial-up?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I have budgeting issues. I may have no choice.

Have you scouted the new location for open wifi?

Not yet. The neighbors are a bank and a funeral parlor.

quester, can you keep the Internet and give up cable?

I'm not even considering cable. I'm just trying to keep the minimum until I can figure out what I can really afford. This is all kind of happening fast and isn't really very well planned.
I'm moving out of my sister's house and leaving the free satellite and dsl behind.

Is free wi-fi at McD's or Barnes & Noble, or some coffee shop type of thing not an option?

How much would dial-up be? I have the cheapest speed AT&T connection ($20) which is fine for my purposes, except long videos (if I got rid of cable, I might bump the speed up a notch for that reason). But it's fine for email, posting here, and downloading iTunes, which is most of what I do on the Interwebs.

quester, I think DSL might actually be as cheap as dialup. And I suspect if you are getting new service you can probably get a deal for 6-12 months.
