Re: uprgading from dial up ? Dsl or Cable
another reason i want a faster internet service is b/c I lost a couple of thousand songs when my hard drive crashed a few days ago. It would take forever to re download those files with dial up. I got a qusetion for you guys, how long does it take to download a song. With my dial up its 4 to 5 kbps. what would it be with cable or DSL.Gametag JetsfanSINY79Comment

if you get cable, dont rent the modem. you can buy one. we bought one 2 years ago around Christmas for $30. The rental was like 12 bucks a month.Twitter

Re: uprgading from dial up ? Dsl or Cable
Where do you live? I know Verizon offers DSL in the northeast much cheaper than $60 a month. Most likely, unless you live in a very small town, you'd be using their lines anyway. Once again, if you actually call up, you can get the installation fee waived.Originally posted by jetsfansiny79Only one place offers DSl in my area and it is 60 dollars month with a 200 dollar installation fee.Comment

One thing to remember. If you buy the modem, you lose technical support from the ISP on the hardware.Originally posted by husker9if you get cable, dont rent the modem. you can buy one. we bought one 2 years ago around Christmas for $30. The rental was like 12 bucks a month.Comment
