Well first you have to make sure you have an ethernet connection in your computer (it looks like a phone line connection but is about twice as wide). then if you do, get a high speed internet conection from quest or comcast. they usually install it for you. they also come with cable modems but you get a better one if you wanted.

See if it has an ethernet port. It will look like a phone line port but a little bigger. If you have one, look for a dsl provider. It's just a modem you connect to a phone line and to your ethernet port. If you want really fast internet, you can buy cable internet which works the same way.

You have to sign up with a high speed Internet service such as through your local cable company or a DSL line from the phone company. They will supply you with the software you need to run the high speed once you sign with them.

you just have to sign up for a dsl service provider. i recommend AT@T if its available in your area. Try to call 1877 722 3755 or any local provider.
but seems you mention you will be using older computer, you may not expect very high speed on this. ask them some minimum requirement...
