You probably already have dial-up service with SBC. Every broadband service I've ever used had dial-up numbers for when you're traveling, or their broadband is down. They sometimes charge by the minute, sometimes with a certain free amount each month, but if you're on the bubble, what's a dollar or two?

My old DSL through Earthlink was so unreliable that I often had to resort to their dial-up, then told them to shove the minutes bill when it arrived.
