Okay, I finally have somthing to add. Dino..are you kidding me? You dont have cable or DSL?? It is like day and night, it turns the internet experience into a pleasure instead of painful waiting. Worth every penny.

Living out here in the country I can't get DSL or cable modem. Hell, I think the Amish are more technically advanced than my neck of the woods.

It's so much better viewing multimedia with high speed service! Well worth the extra cost. And you can surf and talk on your phone at the same time on 1 line.  -ZXtra

That's true about surfing and leaving the phone open. Also, at least for me, if I count the cost of the second phone line I used to have, plus my former service provider's cost, my cable modem is actually cheaper.
My download speed: 500 kbs/sec!! :-)
and for anpther $10/ month I can have 1500 Kbs/second. I think I may just have to make that call. :-)

This is so much better than the 56k modem that I waz connected at before. If you can get the service do so. It's well worth the money.
