I have high speed internet that I just got from Sympatico which is Bell Canada. When I need help they give you someone in India to answer your questions. It takes about 2 hours everytime we need help. We have trouble understanding them and they have trouble understanding us. It is extremely frustrating. I am sorry I ever signed up with Sympatico and would not recommend their service. If we cancel before 2 years they charge us $150.00.

We have dial up, finally found out how to take care of it after 3 years, Works as fast as have seen others do with the hi-speed, For the price will keep it, unless forced to change.

We recently switched from cable internet to DSL. The DSL costs about $25 less per month, and we notice little difference.

Yes, I do have DSL through my phone company which is Verizon at $14.95 a month. I can pick either MSN or Yahoo for my server, but I am sticking to AOL Broadband for $10.95 a month, so for approx $26 I get both and have been happy w. it. Would never go back to dial up....sit forever waiting for sites or whatever to come up.....I would highly recommend DSL.....

I have high speed internet through the cable company. We pay $40 per month for internet and basic cable. We use the internet more than we watch tv.

We also have Viatalk. This is a phone service that works through your cable internet. It is 14.95 per month for unlimited calls anywhere in the US.

So we pay a grand total $55 per month for internet, basic cable, and phone. I think it is really a bargain.

We also have a prepaid cell phone to use when driving in emergencies and in case the internet phone goes out. It's $150 per year for 1500 minutes, which is plenty for us. So I guess that's 12.50 per month. I guess you could say our total bill for cable, internet, and both phones is $67.50 per month. Still sounds like a bargain to me! My parents pay $80 just for cable and internet. We can't convince them to switch. The cell phone is called net10, by the way.

I have dial up and am very happy with it! For what I do, it's very efficient. I like to be thrifty & keep my Internet charges down. Why spend extra money if I don't need to? If I someday need to upgrade for business or the like, I will.

Unfortunately, I have dial up internet. DSL just isn't available where I live, although I've been told by my ISP that they are working to make it available to everyone by the end of the year.
