Satellite internet....I've heard of that. I'm thinking of upgrading to that. It seems like a much better idea. But, I'm wondering of how much would that be a month?? hopefully not to expensive....
In the county that i live in said they are putting up towers for wireless internet. Not sure when they are putting one up in my area...but waiting to find out.
And i can't wait till that day happens
I can do some gaming, look up pictures, Do a ton of multi-tasking on the web.

We got satellite internet a while ago too. I think that's what it is, since they put a tower thing on top of our house with a satellite thing on top. It cost quite a bit to get all that ($250?), but I dont think it is too much per-month now.. I think probably around 30-40$. Good luck, until then, you'll realize what patient means!

I'm using DSL dial up line and it's not to bad really. Except for the very
picture heavy threads, it works pretty good.

well our house already had it, so it was a free upgrade. Sometimes like with direct tv its free installation with a contract and we pay a totall with 4 tvs and internet 72 a month... ( why we have 4 tvs- I have no clue- we use the one in the great room the most, but the kids come to visit and each room has a tv set.. )

Hmm... I wonder if ours was hooked up through our direct tv, is there a way to tell? I'm guessing it wasn't since my mom was ranting about how much it cost to get the satellite deal on top of the house. It might be with Direct tv though, because we dont pay too much, and we have dt on 6 tvs, and internet on two computers

Call them and find out. Its a 800 number. As I said, sometimes they put up free installation deals. They offered dsl through the telephone company too, but quite frankly- it was the same price for the satellite, and we never loose it. And the kids tell us when they visit ours is so much faster than their dsl. To the point that my daughter had her satellite installed.

Also ask your IP (Internet Provider) if they offer an accelerator - basically a piece of software that helps make the dial-up download speed a little bit faster.

I've got dial up as well. It is SLOW!!! But I can't complain. At least I can keep in touch with my friends and post on PT. I guess I got a bit spoiled by the highspeed DSL I had when I lived with Mark.
