Blazedot ISP Review

Blazedot is a great alternative internet service provider for those looking for a discount dial-up or accelerated service. They offer excellent coverage in the US with over 46,000 access numbers, so not finding a way to get on the net is an unlikely problem.

They offer toll-free telephone (9am to midnight), and 24-hour online support for all their plans. Their Accelerated Dial-Up plan is 500% faster than the speed of a regular dial-up service, and Blazedot has just launched their new DSL service, which consists of speeds up to 1.5MB.

Price
Blazedot provides a great dial-up service for a very reasonable price. Their Dial-UP plan at 56K is only $6.95/month and can be accessed through local access numbers in most major centers in the United States. The Blazedot Accelerated Dial-Up service at $9.95 per month is on par with the likes of Netscape and some of the larger ISPs. With their newer DSL service, they offer up to 1.5MB of speed, but price depends on your local cable provider.

Trial Period
No trial period is offered by Blazedot, a definite disadvantage when compared to some other top internet providers.

Setup
Blazedot offers free setup with all of their plans. No real technical expertise is required with the BlazeDot plans, as they provide easy to follow instructions with the installation process.

Access Numbers
Blazedot has over 46,000 local access numbers (46,054 to be exact), which is ideal for anyone traveling throughout the United States. Blazedot services 272 different area codes in the U.S., but there is no coverage outside the continental U.S.

Tech Support
Blazedot offers service from 9am to midnight for their Toll-Free telephone technical support, but help is available through e-mail 24/7/365. Excellent online FAQs are also available with a good support knowledge base.

Computer Skills Required
Blazedot can be used by practically anyone. If you have little technical knowledge or computer expertise, or if you're really tech savvy, you can use Blazedot. Set up can be done over the phone or online by filling out the Internet registration form

Email Addresses
You get one e-mail address with Blazedot. A real let-down when other internet service providers are offering more.

Cancellation
There are no contracts at Blazedot that have to be fulfilled, so feel free to cancel at any time without penalty. Also, if you find that Blazedot is not the right ISP for you within the first 30 days of service, then you will find that you are eligible for their 30-day money-back satisfaction guarantee.
