Netscape ISP Review

Netscape offers top notch dial-up Internet access for $6.95 per month with unlimited dial-up access. Also, Netscape now offers their accelerated package for only $9.95 per month (5X faster). Netscape ISP is part of America Online (AOL) and is focused on offering value-added dial-up ISP services at a reasonable price. Netscape adds value to standard ISP offerings as they have access to some of America Online's special deals.

It also provides one e-mail address with the option of having 2 more (at a cost of $2.00 extra per month) and Web-mail access. As a low-cost ISP compared to their AOL cousin, Netscape provides the full Internet service provider experience with great features. Netscape also has a well established brand and thousands of national access numbers. Netscape provides a 30-day risk free trial and no risk money back guarantee.
