For those who play FFXI using their PS2 and a dial-up connection (or just anyone else really). Could you please tell me who your service provider is and how much you pay? The cost of this game is killin me.

Well for dial-up that'll work for PS2 the prices I've seen seem to vary from $9.95 a month to like $39.99 a month. Just if you go for one like $9.95 a month they have a lot of restrictions and may not fit your needs.


If you are looking for ISPs that do Dial-up though then there are:

AOL
MSN
NetZero
Earthlink
CompuServe
PeoplePC

I'm sure there are a few more but those are the ones I know off the top of my head. I use to use Earthlink before I got Cox HighSpeed Internet. Think they cost like $19.99 or something last I remember.

Double Post Edited:
Heh, decided to look up Earthlink again to see what they are at. Apparently Dial-up prices have changed for Earthlink now it's $21.95. Currently they are running two specials sign-up for monthly and the first 6 months will be $9.95 after that back to $21.95 or signup for 12 months pay a lump sum of $167.40 ($13.95 per month) then after that year it goes to monthly charges of $21.95.

In the long run the 12 month one is cheaper if going for 1 year. Saves you $24.00 after the year passes.

Other then that NetZero's price seems really good. Their offer of 12 months at $9.95 saves you $48-$73 over Earthlinks, they bind you to a 12 month contract though and costs you $25 for early termination of the contract. Normal cost after is $14.95 which is $7.00 cheaper then Earthlink. Only problem is the fine print says that NetZero has the right to impose hourly usage limits.
