Is Cable or ISDN available in your area?, In my area, the High Speed Cable connection is only $10.00 more a month than dial-up, and I dont tie up the phone line, The dowmnload speed is incredible. All of these pics load in leas than a second
Everything is available in my area, but ....I'm paying off student loans on my youngest son's degree. I'm trying to pay them off as fast as possible, I don't want to be paying it when I'm retired. So no cell phone and no DSL or cable until I get them all paid off. Unless of course I get a huge raise which isn't likely. The fast things cost more than $10 a month extra here. If the price was that cheap I might do it.
I have noticed so much difference since I went broadband I think I pay more than you do in the States but as more people go broadband I am certain the cost will come down.
I agree Mike you really don't see the photos load as you scroll down the page they are just there. Not certain what my speed is but I think is something like 20 x that of 57K dial up.
$10 extra a month...I pay $30 extra a month for broadband...and next year it will go to $44...but that is just regular cable, now if I went back to digital cable, broadand is $5 extra...
