You were saying ...

I know the cost of cable is high for many now.

It's darned cheap entertainment, for the Internet and cable... I can't think of something cheaper for all that you can do... :-)

It isn't a problem for me ST, but I know from reading that many people are tight right now.

I use Cox Cable for internet and TV, when you add in premium stations it isn't cheap. Heaven forbid they ever start charging by the hour for internet, lol........!!

Well, I researched cable vs. phone co. connect...I carry one up from dial up...my speed averages 800. @ $15. monthly. My brother has cable for his computer and he was astounded I got the speed I do. His can go as low as 400 and he pays the top rate for highest speed.

The advantage to going thru the phone co. is it's your own line. Nothing slows your speed down..like on cable when too many down load movies or programs which slow your speed down.

As you see I have very limited knowledge of computer lingo....I just wanted the best price and when I start it up it goes. But I do know how to strike a deal..thus $15.
