Internet Necessities

[Nanu57v]

Help! I'm staying at CBR from DEC 4-Dec 12. I'm also taking an online course during this time. Its the first class, and super-easy (i've been told), so I thought I'd do all my work before and after the trip. However, there may be a requirement about having to sign on to the class message board 5 times a week, so I might need internet to do that. I remember there being internet access somewhere in EPCOT when I was there 2 years ago. I don't believe CBR is wired for DSL. What are my options?

I used dial-up from my WL lodge room back in '91 while I was taking classes at the University of Phoenix online.

If most of what you have to do is "check in" then dial-up is fine. The class I was taking during that week was a writing course, so I didn't need much web access for research. A half-hour or a little more a day and I was set.

If you need a "pay-by-the-minute" ISP I recommend Slingshot. It's basically a calling card but for dial-in access.

The suggested retail price for our starter CD is $9.95. With the CD, you get an access code worth 840 minutes of access time via one of our many local access numbers, or worth 120 minutes when you connect via Slingshot's nationwide toll-free access number.

You can buy the CD at various locations, or just download the siftware from them and start right up. You can add minutes as you go, just like a debit card.

PM me if you'd like more details, either on Slingshot or my experiences in "going to class" from Disney.
