Other Internet Service

UA Dialup provides limited Internet access. If you need additional Internet access, or if you need service for your entire family, you may want to sign up with an Internet Service Provider (ISP). Dialup Internet services are available throughout Tuscaloosa, while high-speed access is, at present, limited to only part of the Tuscaloosa area. Cost varies widely, with high-speed access (through cable and DSL modems) costing more than traditional dialup access.

Some high-speed providers allow you to share a connection between multiple computers. This document will help you set up this type of sharing:
