Internet service provider NetZero offers a variety of packages that appeal to every type of customer in 8,000 cities across the United States. For those who want wireless access to high speed Internet, NetZero provides a broadband DSL package that has wireless capabilities once customers install a wireless modem in their home.

What is NetZero?

Since its founding in 1994, NetZero has marketed itself as an affordable option among Internet providers. NetZero offers its customers several packages, including unlimited basic dial-up Internet and accelerated dial-up. This provider also offers high speed services including broadband DSL with wireless capabilities to give their customers a wider range of options.

DSL Broadband

Unlike dial-up internet, broadband DSL is always connected and available for use without tying up the phone line. NetZero Broadband DSL customers can access the Internet wirelessly through the use of a wireless modem. Once the wireless modem is connected, customers can access the Internet using laptops and other wireless devices from any location in the house.

Additional Features

NetZero Broadband DSL customers also receive firewall and Norton Antivirus protection for their home PC when they sign up for service. Also included is an e-mail account with built-in video and spam protection. All NetZero customers benefit from free technical support as well as 10 hours of free dial-up service per month to use during travel or service interruptions.

Costs

NetZero customers must commit to a commitment period when they sign up for service. In addition to monthly subscription fees, all new services also require a one-time fee for processing and handling. A network management surcharge may apply in some areas. Customers who cancel their service after a 30-day trial period may incur an early termination fee.
