It is hard to blame a company for only offering small discounts with online promotional coupons when their basic rates are already so low. Juno is one of the firms that offers Internet access and nothing else, so their monthly fees are already fairly small. Nevertheless, with a bit of scrounging, you can find a coupon to use when signing up – the problem is when you click on that offer, it doesn’t materialize.
The promotion you will find online right now is one that offers you $1 per month savings on their platinum Internet service. Normally, this will cost you $7.95/mo. With the online coupon you should only pay $6.95; however, when you click through you are taken to the normal page with the full price. Perhaps if you called in you could qualify for the discount, which is worth a try but I wouldn’t hold out too much hope.
Free Internet Access Promotion
Juno is also offering a promotion where you can get 10 hours of free internet access a month. Go to their official website for more details but it’s a great way to try their service, and also to get your feet wet if you STILL don’t have access to the internet.
Prices Still Exceptional
Regardless of that glitch, the prices that Juno offers its customers are very good. As stated previously, the basic Platinum connection plan will set you back only $7.95 per month during your first year. After that you pay $10.95 per month, which is still very reasonable. This is for dial up service, and not DSL though. Make sure you use a local number to connect, or it could end up being a very costly mistake.
Moving up the ladder of service you encounter Accelerated Dial Up at $14.95 monthly. This package offers speeds up to 5x greater than those available through Basic.
You can also access a DSL connection, which means your phone remains free while you are online. These packages start at $9.95 per month, but their final price is understandably higher.
- Basic DSL offers a download speed of 768Kbps at $9.95 per month for the first six months. After that your rate goes to $22.95 per month.
- DSL Speedsaver is your next option and it will cost you $22.95 per month for the first 3 months. You get a download speed of 1.5Mbps which is about 25x faster than dial up. This package will go to $29.95 per month.
- DSL Pro50x is the fastest option with a download speed of 3Mbps. There is no introductory offer, and the rate is $31.95 per month.
Get More
Each package, from dial up to DSL comes with security programs and software to maximize your usage. You get numerous email accounts and storage as well. A limited guarantee of satisfaction applies to your first 30 days of service, so you can try out Juno without risk.
Because Juno is part of the United Online family you also get access to other benefits. You can connect to Learning Edge to boost your kid’s learning, obtain computer tools and software at a discount and enjoy member’s only discounts at websites like NASCAR.com, MLB.com and even American Greetings. Megamail and Megamail Plus will help you make your emailing experience better and safer. Some of these additional services can be bundled for greater savings.
What about Free?
Juno also offers a free, limited access account for those who don’t use the Internet often or who just want to give dial up a try. You get 10 hours of access per month. Local access numbers will keep you from paying additional phone fees. You get free email accounts with this service as well, so it is the perfect way to connect if you just don’t need anything else.
Juno is a great way to gain access to the Internet, no matter which service option you choose. Coupons may turn up online from time to time, so it pays to take a quick look, but you will find that most of their promotional offers are already present on their home page.
