[edited information]
The World is a service provider for Internet services. Among the myriad
available services are electronic mail, USENET, file software archives,
telnet, ftp, IRC, library catalogs, and much more. As the first provider
of public access Internet services, World is committed to providing cost
effective, reliable network services for dialup customers of the
Internet community.
RATES
The World offers two billing rates which are the same 24 hours per day
at all connection speeds. The Basic Rate plan is a $5 monthly account
fee plus a $2 per hour usage fee. Basic Rate accounts include a .5MB
disk quota. The 20/20 Plan is a bulk usage rate where $20 paid in
advance buys 20 hours of online time during a one month period. This
includes the monthly account fee and offers an increased disk quota of
2MB. 20/20 Plan accounts used for more than 20 hours during one month
are billed at an hourly rate of $1 per hour.
The World offers payment options via MasterCard or Visa, postal invoice,
or email invoice. Unfortunately, we cannot accept postal or email
billing requests from outside the United States. Additional discounts
are available for members of the Boston Computer Society and for
corporate customers. Send email to "info@world.std.com" for details.
SIGNUP PROCEDURE
To sign up for public access, dial 617-739-WRLD. At The World's login
prompt, use the login "new" to begin the account request program. You
will be asked a few questions necessary to create your account. The
World will allow you to select your login name which will become your
email address. Most people select their name, their initials, or a
combination of both. Your initial password will be provided by the
account creation software. All customers must contact our office for
account activation after making the account request. Accounts are
eligible for a one hour trial period (see below).
