    Default Dial up...

    Dial up ain't so bad. I'm on Dial up until we figure out our broadband solution.

    This forum loads quickly anyways.

    Strangely enough, I'm in a new (2000+) housing development and DSL isn't available here.

    May be going with Comcast cable unless the Dish guys have a broadband option but Comcast wants $50 a month.
    ...and across the line.

    If you're worried about $50/month, then don't bother talking to the DISH people. It's more expensive and pretty slow by comparison.

    On the bright side, Comcast is REALLY fast.

    Comcast is coming out Sunday. (strange)

    Anywho... It's $19.95 a month for 6 months and $55.95 a month after that.

    Until then, I'm on the World Wide Wait....

    If you get Comcast cable TV too, you'll get a discount on that.

    Does there infrastructure demand that much or are they just raping everyone? Hell, if they kept it at $20 a month I'd be onboard...

    Going with Dish Network to get a DVR built into the receiver.

    3Bean,

    Yeah, $55/mo is similar to prison rape but I gotta have broadband cuz dialup just sux. It's my only option which is probably how they are able to charge that.

    We have SBC's DSL deal: go with their All Distance service (unlimited LD for $19.95/mo) and you get the DSL for $19.95/mo. too. Our total phone/DSL/long distance bill is $90/mo including all the taxes, fees, and bells & whistles. It ain't cheap, but it's a nicely integrated package.
