Emails are arriving chastising me (nicely) for not having a Plan B for my cable company’s ISP service. They’re right. I should have known.

Here’s the best (read cheapest) way to go. Select a good service for your home or office. Prices vary around the country, but dependable DSL lines or good cable service will run $40 to $50 per month. Memphis has a company offering a T-1 for $650 per month for dedicated internet access (DIA).

No matter what you select, pick some type of dial-up service for your travels and as an alternative method for getting on the web. I should have done this, but I didn’t. It seems to me the worst case cost for such a plan is less than $25 per month. Juno is still free and might get you past a rough spot even though you may have to endure some annoying ads.
