Fred.. Do yourself a favor.. Skip all the full service ISP's. Go with someone local. I have had all three, MSN, AOL, and Minspring...

MSN was ALWAYS busy....
AOL isn't bad but the software F&%ks things up on your PC.
Mindspring was strange.. Never got busy signal but I swear I was sharing modems with others. Long pauses and slowdowns.

I have tried both DSL and Cable..

DSL is the s&^t.. If you can get it.. Go with DSL. Only problem is not everyone can get it. I have ZERO downtime and best thing is, your always hot. No dial-up. Just double click Internet Explorer icon and your golden.

Cable modem is the next best thing. Problem is, you are sharing bandwidth so it slows down during busy internet times. Still 10X better than dial-up 56K. Also on full time. No dialing and very little downtime.

**Both DSL and Cable service is more expensive however, they require NO second phone line so take that second line out of the cost. (about 15 bucks).

Really dude.. you will wonder how you lived without it.
