    Netzero better with online gaming?

     
    Ok, so I'm forced to use dial up at one location. I have an AT&T disk, or I can DL Netzero dial up, but my question is, is Netzero faster when it comes to online gaming?

    The speed won't be any different, but Netzero doesn't come with a bloated web browser like AOL that infests your computer.

    I'd be using AT&T if anything.

    I used their dial up service in the past when I couldn't get DSL/Cable and would be using them again.

    But AT&T and Netzero's 3G are the same price, thus why I was wondering if it would matter when gaming.

    No it shouldn't, both will produce horrible ping responces

    I remember when NetZero used to actually be Zero, do any FREE dial-up ISPs exist anymore?

    Better be careful about NetZero. The $9.95 plan logs you off after 4 hours. It's a PITA to have to reconnect every 4 freaking hours.
