What is the difference between a local and nation-wide Internet Service Provider?
Local providers tend to offer a single phone number to which you dial to connect to the Internet. With a nation-wide Internet Service Provider, you can select from hundreds of numbers across the United States that would be local to what ever city they were assigned. In real terms, that means that you can take your computer with you when you travel and use your Web of Support account without incurring long distance fees or maintaining multiple dial-up services. This is especially beneficial to business travelers or vacationers who like to keep in contact with their family and friends.
