cost of internet

Hi Sara,

We just had a thread on this so I cut and paste for you. These were from different people - just to confuse! 😉 Hope this helps!

First Pasting:

surfVI, PowerNet, and Choice are all local.

surfVI is $13.96/month unlimited, with tech support, 7 free email addresses, and 10Mb storage. 774-5780 or www.surfVI.com

Choice is 19.96/month, last time I checked, and I'm not sure how much PowerNet (the local phone company's product) is.

Pasting #2:

surfbest.net is available with unlimited service for $12.50 / month. The access numbers are the same ones used by folks with Earthlink Service (who pay more).

Best tech support folks I've ever encountered. If y ou call with any question and are asked to leave a message, or e-mail a support question.......the most often simply pick up the phone and resolve the issue immediately for you....about as personal as you can get.

.............and never ever do you NOT get into your e-mail - unlike the very troublesome local services which are to be avoided!!!!!!

Pasting again:

Although I no longer live on the island, while on St. Thomas, I used a small ISP out of PA - you can find them at www.pennswoods.net or check St. Croix computer stores or Radio Shack if you have one - they should be able to help you set up. Penns-woods offered the best dial-up service I found there at a rate of about $19.95 a month.

Still Pasting:

Well, you have Choices! (pun intended - I get a little wacky after a day with three kids 7 and under)

There is Choice - www.choice.vi
surfVI - www.surfvi.com
Innovative - www.vipowernet.net
Pennswoods - www.pennswoods.net

I used www.viphonebook.com to find some of these.

That was it. Good luck Sara!
