If you own a computer, chances are that you'll want to get on the web. Austin
is one of the most wired cities in the nation and, not suprisingly, there are
several options for getting connected.
Use a computer lab! All students pay a technology fee as part of their
tuition. A portion of that fee goes toward providing high speed Internet access
for all students in the various campus
computer labs, such as the iSchool IT Lab.
Looking for a cheap, reliable dial-up service? You can't beat UT's
Telesys service.
At $8 a month for unlimited access, you're not going to find a better deal
in town. To activate your Telesys, you must first create an IF
Account with the university.
Willing to pay for a high speed connection? There are a number of
DSL and cable IPS's in Austin. Generally, these premium services cost around
$40 per month. Yahoo! maintains a page of ISP's
operating in the Austin area.
