Copper.net Review

Copper.net started in the ISP business back in October of 1994 and has grown into one of the top discount ISPs in the industry today. With excellent reliable service and North American coverage of 46,000+ access numbers, you can't go wrong with this company. Better yet, they provide excellent telephone toll-free support for free, while other companies charge.

You do not get this with other major providers, such as Netscape or NetZero. Copper.net is so confident that you will like their service that they have given us a special deal. Simply enter the promotional code to get three months of dial-up Internet service for $1. Switch to an annual rate at any time and prepay for a year of service for $99 ($8.25/month).

They also offer their customers a 30-day money-back guarantee, providing access to anywhere on the Internet instantly with a credit card.
