Grumpy Vet Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Good evening all. I'm a happy FIOS customer. My wife, kids and I are going on vacation soon. For work, I need to be able to connect to the Interwebs at least twice a day while we are on vacation. Verizon has basically told me that I can sign up for a year long mobile wireless card or they can't help me. Love the FIOS product - hate the Verizon service and Customer care. So...I'm looking for an ISP that I can dial in to on the Eastern Shore of Delaware. No long term contract and would just be happy to take my money for one month of basic dial up. Anybody have any ideas of where I should begin to look? Thanks for the help.... GV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianforster Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 the place you are staying at does not have internet available? are there any places with free wifi near your vacation destination? you could drive to a starbucks, panera, or even some mcdonalds now, and just handle your business there twice a day.

Grumpy Vet Posted July 7, 2009 Author Share Posted July 7, 2009 It does not have Internet available....it is a house owned by a woman my wife works with. We've gone every year (except last year when we moved) for the last six years. In years past, I used my Dad's dial up account. He now has a phone and wireless card and doesn't use the dial up when he travels. I can check on the wi-fi in the area....I know Paneras is great w/ the wi-fi....but Starbucks, Mickey D's and most places require you to buy a plan to use their service. I can do that if need be....but I was thinking if I can sign up for a month of net zero for $20 vs. signing up for AT&T thru Starbucks @ $15 - I can get on the Interwebs while I'm sipping coffee in my jammies vs. venturing down the road to McDs. Specifically we'll be in South Bethany. Thanks for the reply. GV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianforster Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 couldnt you buy one of those things that turns your cell phone into a modem? then you could just add the internet to your phone for 10$ a month and cancel it when you return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinnedAussie Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Down here, if an employer wanted me to work during my vacation, I'd be asking them to ensure that I was supplied with whatever I needed to do my 'work'. Explain to the boss that you won't have ready internet access, and see what he/she can come up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
