High Speed...though I am considering cutting back on expenses and going back to dial up...it's just that dial up is so slow once you get used to high speed.

DSL finally became available in my boondock area a few months ago.  It would actually be cheaper for me to go with DSL because I have an extra phone line that's just for internet.  The problem is, I hate Quest and am reluctant to give them any more money than I already do. 

I did just learn that a local internet service provider can do the DSL thing, so.....maybe.

But, dial up is definitely crummy.

LOL ~ it's the Old Saying:

ONCE YOU GO FAAAAAAAST ~ YOU'LL NEVER GO BACK (to dial-up).  :teehee: :laugh3:

Sorry, it's LATE and I am losing it, but after knowing the difference I can NEVER go back to dial-up.

Well they call it high speed, but it's only 100.0 Mbps.  Is that comparable to what they call "high speed" in other places?  When I had dial-up, the speed was only 30.  My brother made the comment that the ISP ought to be put out of service for charging $$ for such a non-service!
