Yahoo was sellin it cheap not too long ago, also your cable company may have a deal going on a cable hook up
Dial up sucks. Does anyone have a hot deal on DSL in the San Dimas area?

We use Mpower. Phone and DSL package gets you a good deal. I don't know if they do your area tho'.
ask both what specials they have going on (pacbell/yahoo and cable), pacbell/yahoo had a 29.95 special for the first year (not including modem)...I wouldn't ever go back to dial up after dsl....
I've got Adelphia cable, they offer cable DSL for $24.99 for 3 months, but it jumps to $52.00 a month after that. SBC had a good deal, but they don't service my area. Verizon had a deal, but since I've got Mac, it wasn't compatable. (Damn you Apple Computer!)
Get cable or get nothing.
I sold DSL for some time. Before I sold DSL I sold cable internet.
Hands down cable is the fastest for the money. DSL tends to run around the same price as cable but cable offers a much faster service for the money. Where I am at right now I get 2.4 mbps for $49.99 a month I see average d/l speeds of 360kbps. The DSL I got for $49.99 was 640K and I averaged d/l 70kbps.
If I had to go back to dial up I just wouldn't have the internet anymore. To much content and to little bandwidth with dial up. With dial up I bet some of these posts take 4-5 minutes to load with all of the pictures. Who has the time or pateince for that these days?

gotta go with boozer on this one....finally got my dsl at home functional today and man does it rip
DSL's - OH, I was thinking of something totally different!!
I have 2 DSL plans. If you are in SBC area - I got it. In Verizon - I might.
Standard DSL - 29.95/mo with 1/2 off 3rd month. Free Modem
DSL + (for gamers - turbo DSL) - $39.95/mo with 1/2 off first 3 months and free modem.
Both require a 1 year commitment, then it is month to month.
PM me to see if we offer it in your area. I market Covad DSL which is the largest DSL provider in the US.
Unfortunately I can't get my own DSL where I live. Just hooked up Cable modem with ComCast and they have a decent offer: $19.99 for 3 months, then $42.95/mo after that. Modem is not included, but you can rent it for $3 or buy one.
