Unfortunately, I still use 56k dial-up, and probably will for another year or so.

I'm too cheap to pay the current prices for cable or DSL.
My current dial-up is $12.50 per month, unlimited access, monthly billing, no set-up fees, 10 megs of web space, 2 pop3 e-mail accounts. The cheapest I could find.

Do you get Unlimited Downloading? Or do you have restrictions for that too?

I got out of 56k hell/AOL hell two weeks ago, and got high speed cable. Even though the cable sometimes cuts off for no reason, it is still better then slowwww 56k modem.

Cable-schmable! I used 56K this summer cuz my Aunt didn't understand how good broadband was. I'm now on DSL for a week at home. But when I get to college next week, I'll have a T3 connection. Your DSL and Cable are about 1.5mbps, where my T3 is going to be 10mbps. I can download Red Hat Linux (a 650MB ISO file) in less time than it takes to cook a pizza. Beat that!

Show me a cheaper ISP.

I found one ISP for $9.95 per month that did not have news groups, or any web space, and only one pop3 account.

Was this question for me? If so, yes unlimited downloading and unlimited connection time.

Yup, that launguage is everywhere now f00.

Anyway, I hope to get Cable soon, but the prices are pretty big down here In Australia.
