    Free software to fetch/tell ISP account balance
    My ISP offers different log on rates during various day hours. Is there any free software that could fetch/tell my account balance when I am online. So that I do not have to browse the ISP’s website. From where to download that software free.

    There would be no generic software for this. Each ISP uses its only accounting methods. In addition, there would need to be secure access to get such info.

    The bottom line is to talk to your ISP about it. They are the only ones who might know if there is an easier way.

    Hi,
    Is there any way possible to get another Internet Service Provider?
    If so, try to find one where your connections all cost the same.
    For example; most local ISP's offer their internet connection service at a monthly rate, varying from around $15 US to $25 US, with no phone charges for dialing up.
    Check it out.
    Have a good day,

    No, AskMe.com was started and run by some refugees from Microsoft that had this idea for knowledge management software. As a way to promote their product they started askme.com as a free, public Q & A site. Once they started to get customers and generate revenue, the need for the "demo" site was reduced. More and more resurces were siphoned away from the public site until a decision was made to cut it off completely. This was at the end of 2002. In its wake some other Q&A sites popped up. This was one of them. This site specifically "borrowed" its name and category structure from askme.com, even down to using some very similar screens.
