My recollection is that ADSL was $60 / month plus an install fee of around $150. There would of course be long distance charges for calling servers outside the local calling area. The options in my area; San Ramon California are: dial up access to an ISP $20, cable modem access $40, or ADSL access $60. I'm not sure of the monthly charge for ISDN because it is billed directly to my employer. Don

DC & Don: I just got ADSL put in last week. Although I may not yet have a full accounting of charges, I will pay $50/mo and I think $250 for installation. This is for the 384KBPS line. I sent an email to my telephone co and asked to be notified when ADSL became available. After I called in, there was a two week wait until I could get a technician to come in. I REALLY wonder whether cable modems or CLEC service through cable modem (as Armstrong is planning with ATT/TCI/Warner) is such a good idea. If my phone and internet service went to the QoS of my cable service, then we are all in trouble. I remember a survey a couple years ago where they asked everyone who is their worst utility and something like 55% said their cable provider. I finally got DIRECTV so I could heave-ho. Ed K
