>>as for DTN, you usually get pointing service from the dealer;<< Not DTN -- or at least not when I had it. I would have thought DSL was cheaper than DirecPC. USWest just cut their rates for 256K service to $30. (Then you have to pay the ISP). So, they're coming down. I pay $47 for RoadRunner cable. Yes, I'm spoiled. It's incredible.

My dialup (which I have as a backup for trading) is super -- they're never down and they give me the best connections because of their multiple backbone hookups. I didn't discover them until AFTER I had cable. Before that I was in ISP hell. My dialup is a local company. They even offer downstream 1MB wireless for $50. w
