When my home computer died, I discontinued my old service (AOL).

I have a new computer at home, now, and want to have home net access.

I don’t want much: Internet access (probably less than 40 hours per month) and email. That’s about it.

I didn’t really have a problem with AOL, since it did serve those purposes, but are there any other services that have competitive plans for the meager options I would like?
