Answer 1

I get high speed Internet for $18.95 per month. I didn't think that was too costly. I have an old computer, though, so it's sometimes still slow, but I can't imaging how slow it would be with dial-up. My company is I2000 or I2K out of Grand Rapids, MI.

Answer 2

I still use dialup. I tried the air card through my cellphone provider because they said it would be faster than dialup - it wasn't. Also, at my cellphone provider's suggestion, I tried using the mobile link using my actual cellphone hooked to the computer, and it wasn't any better. In my situation, I live close to the fire department and the rescue squad, so probably their interference slowed up the service I was receiving from my cellphone provider as I kept losing the signal - very aggravating!

I have a very old computer, and having to use dialup slows down the speed. I can't even use IM because when I installed it, my computer slowed down to a snail's pace! So, until I can afford a newer computer and can afford DSL, I'll just have to grin and bear it! {{Smiling}}

Answer 3

I don't, I use comcast high speed internet. It works just like dialup, no problem with it. We use to have dialup but when we got a new computer it came with comcast high speed internet for free.

Netzero

Broad band works much the same but it is digital and you need to be near a hub

IF you are too far away it does not work
Call a local provider and ask things like speed and file capability
