Broadband is not an option as it is not avalible on my phone line. What is the cheapest service provider? Is there one company that offers unlimited hours for a fee each month? Just dial up. Thanks.

Are you absolutely sure your line cannot accept broadband? Avangard and (I think) ROL both have "line compatibility" tests on their websites (sorry, can't immediately find the URLs.... but there are adverts all over the Metro for them at the moment, I am sure you can find one easily).

They have a good variety of options available. Some of packages are like "3 hours for 100 rub" or "5x3 hours for 220 rub", but some of them are somewhat like unlimited access - "from 8am to 8pm for 2 weeks for 200 rub" or evenings - "from 6pm to 1am for month for 400 rub", something like that, numbers may vary as i don't remember exactly. Check yourself. Also, see these 3 options for broadband: http://www.avangard-dsl.ru/pubsas/test--E848F7059CEB433FBDEBD425E175E69A.html http://www.spb.tvoe.tv/tvoiinet/internet_rates/ http://www.adsl.webplus.ru/step1.html
