Pay by the
minute for connection time? You're getting screwed.
Maybe they are, but from what I gather, that is not unusual outside the
USA.
Even here in the USA, if you are on a dialup connection, and calling from
a business... guess what, you are probably paying by the minute. Most
business lines in the USA are billed per minute of connect time (or
worse, by the "message unit").
