Kinda.... I know regions of Illinois where I most recently moved
from, that there's no local ISP (for a toll free call) to connect to.
So... if you have to make the *intra-latta* phone call (that's telephone
lingo for non-local-toll-free telephone call, but far enough away ... usually
20-35 miles away.... to be charged 3.5 to 5 cents a minute, after a while
with a really slow modem, to check e-mail really chews up the cost to be
online. Not that the ISP will charge more, just that the phone bill will
be increased because of the longer non-free telephone call.
