Comcast via cable modem is also another option for me, I've got their
cable teevee and their digital voice phone service; I've never
encountered any big problems, their customer service has been okay to
good. Even got the installation disc for internet when I got their
'info pack' when I got the phone a year ago. Might as well sign my
life over to Comcast, lol...

I'm about the *last* person I know with dial - up, but I'll miss that
$7.95 monthly unlimited dial - up I get from Earthlink (or probably
not)...

I don't blanche at paying a hundred a month for cable teevee, don't
know why I get an attack of "the cheaps" when it comes to the internet
service...go figure.
