Go to http://www.att.com/gen/general?pid=7681 and carefully, follow the steps.

After the year is up, another deal may be dslextreme check to see if there are any promotional specials.

For Dial-Up

The cheapest dialup we've found for general availability is at frys.com $5.99 per month. I haven't used it but know those who have. http://shop4.outpost.com/isp/index.html

For Phone
Many more people can afford DSL because you can now get it for $10 per month (not that much more than dialup). You need an ATT phone. Some folks don't have that, but can run DSL on a $2.85 per month lifeline phone. See http://www02.sbc.com/Products_Services/Residential/1,,68--1-3-3,00.html for lifeline phone service in California.
