Tomorrow at 9:00 am I will be getting hooked up for DSL. I am so excited. I can vote more often and hopefully comment on them at the same time. Not sure if I can comment on them all,but will try. I should wait before I open my mouth. I don't even know how fast it runs. lol. It has to be better the 56k or below. YAHOO!

welcome to the 21st century, sonifo. broadband should be cheap and available for everybody, don't forget to write your congresspeople about that.

I keep waiting and waiting. I have a modem connection at 26.4 and sit back in total envy of DSL. Hey maybe there's a shot for this weeks challenge!!

I, too, will be getting hooked up with DSL next week and can't wait! :) It's so depressing going at T3+ at work and then going home to a 56k modem, which is why I do all my voting here at work. Have fun with the DSL speed, I know I will be.

I have DSL now and it is so much quicker. This is great. I think everyone needs to get it. It is costing me $90.00 a month. How much is it costing you??

Ouch! I have a cable modem with 5 ip addresses and pay $40 a month... I guess city life has SOME advantages :)

Of course my electric bill is $350 a month, so it probably all evens out.

We have only one DSL provider in our town. I did call around. I could have got the wireless for 50.00 a month but there are to many hills, trees and buildings in the way.

We've got cable through Adelphia at 42.95 a month. And worth every cent!!

Just a guess, but I'd bet it's worth the $90 a month to have hills and trees :)
