A cable modem or ASDL is the way to go, much faster. It not only saves time
from logging on and off with conventional dial up it is probably cheaper. If
you are on the net that much you are essentially tying up a phone line which
here is Canada worth about $20-25 and then internet provider on top of it
$20-25. Cable modem is about 40-45 and ASDL is not that much more or perhaps
cheaper in a Telephone bundles program?
As I see it there is no choice but to go with Cable modem or ASDL, in
Saskatchewan there is a promotion on, Cable modem trial one month free and
ASDL 2 months free with a free ether net card. How could one not try it?
P.S if you are not very computer handy, hire someone to come in and make
your system work it saves much headache (S) and will probably cost you less
than a $50 bill. You may also want to consider upgrading you computer and
perhaps more ram if your system lags, you want to able to utilize your
connection to the net.
Had a friend who owns a satellite business and is an electronic tech - He is
on Satellite hook-up for about 9 or more months. He spent lots of time in
hooking up the satellite and making it work.
Hope this helps
