I have not yet downloaded it and I still have a couple of questions for clarification, just to be safe. Does it cost anything to download? How long does it take for dialup? And does it help slow internet get faster? Thanks for input.

Internet Explorer 7 provides improved navigation through tabbed browsing, web search right from the toolbar, advanced printing, easy discovery, reading and subscription to RSS feeds, and much more.
Internet Explorer 7 provides security through a robust new architecture, security features that help defend against malicious software (also known as malware), and new ways to better protect against the theft of personal data from fraudulent websites, a practice known as phishing.

I use IE 7 and it is a very good internet browser. It is a huge step up from IE 6, and also I think its beats Firefox 2.0 in few aspects.
I have also noticed a slight speed increase with IE 7 compared to IE 6.
Dowloading with dial-up would take some time but you can just let the computer download and install automatically, go away and leave it for a while, then come back once its done.
I say you should get it because it is alot better than IE 6, and yes, it is free.
If you would like to download it go to this site:

It does not cost anything to download, but it'll validate your copy of windows prior to downloading. Thus if you're running a pirated copy of Windows, you won't be able to download/install it.

It's free, it will take a LONG time on dialup and it shouldn't change the internet's speed on way or another.
On the Microsoft website is usually a link to order it on CD. Usually for about $5 shipping.

Switch to Firefox. I keeps your computer safer from spyware, and most of its feature were stolen by Microsoft in Internet Explorer 7.
Download Firefox at getfirefox.com
