Well, mom said we will be getting DSL in the next few weeks cause she is tired of our crapy 56k dialup...See now, we pay $20 a month for unlimited Dial-Up.....And our ISP is http://vallnet.com ...They are now offering DSL in our area and the coast of it to get DSL out our home would be $45 a month...Mom said that wouldn't be bad to get..Then we checked out EarthLink DSL/Cable...The Regular DSL package with them is $19.95 for the first 2 months, then it is $39.95...And that speed is adverage at 3mbps...Then I looked at the Earthlink Cable internet..It is $19.95 a month for first 3 months, then it is 41.95 thereafter it...

and bellsouth is down atm so i cant get details on there dsl services...So what should we get???

Okay, here is bellsouth's dsl pricing stuff:::


Fast Access DSL: $24.95/month Up to 256Kbps/128Kbps
Fast Access DSL Ultra: $32.95 Up to 1.5Mbps/256Kbps
Fast Access DSL Extreme $44.95/month Up to 3Mbps/384Kbps


(BTW: The  comparisons between connections is Downstream/Upstream)

What should we get??

tbh, isn't your HDD small, so you wouldn't be downloading that much so a 3mbps connection is a bit of overkill, even a 1.5 is a bit much. I personally don't like cable since you don't get a constant speed, so my reccomendation would be the Bellsouth lowest or the 1.5mbps Earthlink DSL

But for playing games is good....btw, what's the up rate on the connections? That matters when play games...

LoL... you Americans are completely spoiled regarding DSL prices!

Our service costs $56,5 USD a month for 512/128 kbit/s...   Getting 2 MBit/512 kbit would be possible, but it would cost an unreasonable amount of money (approx. $110 a month). What an unfair world!
