Hi Dolly, good to see ya.

I have cable, the only time I had problems was when my computer wasn't working properly.

I wish I had access to cable. Satellite TV and Satellite internet. Bummer.

I live too far out in the country to get cable. In addition to whatever the equipment and installation were, I pay $60 per month for the satellite connection.

I have cable I know I am in the UK but only problem I have is that occasionally I have to turn my top box off and allow the info to down load from the cable company have to do that for the TV as well sometimes.

Or if I accidentally knock the USB connection on the front of the computer as mine is a LAN rather than an internal modem.

Apart from that I am more than pleased with it. In the UK for a basic broadband connection the price is only about 4 dollars more than dial up but then I am certain compared to you dial in the UK is expensive.

Having switched to cable though I would recommend this to everyone the difference is so noticeable and also the convenience of it not affecting your phone calls.

I would love something "faster" if finances permitted (they dont). Each system has it's advantages/disadvantages, I guess. I am still trying to figure out the advantage of dial up.

lol

cable/satellite is about 60/mo & most people do NOT like the email service provided so keep their other one, or get it back if they cancelled. Again stinkin' monopoly. i pay 29/mo for aol. Like it but with the phone lines everything takes forever.

GOing to try to crash soon. Have very busy next few days.
