I am interested to find out how do you recieve your internet connection? Is it via cable, telephone line etc: etc:. How much do you pay for it? Who is your service provider? And how do you rate the service they provide?

I get it through ComSpeed. It's a wireless modem and it's $30 a month. Pretty good service and is a 512kb, their medium speed.

At home I have dial up threw AOL. 14.99 a month. Crappy service. I hate it. I dont get on much at home. Here at work I have it threw the local phone company. I love it. Not sure how much my boss pays.

I have wireless high speed. I think it costs about $50-60 a month. It's through execulink and it is absolutely horrible. It just randomly cuts off all the time and wont re-connect.

We have verizon high speed DSL. I don't know the cost since that's mom's bill. It's not bad. It only went down once this year. I had Earthlink for over 10 years and that went down once in 10 years. Customer service wasn't the greatest but I rarely had the need to call them. I miss the webspace EL gave per email. It was 10mbs and Verizon is 1mb.

I have dial up. We hate dial up but it is all we can get out where we live. Our provider is Earthlink and we have not had any problems with them. We pay $22 a month.

We have DSL through our local phone company. The customer service is very poor, but if we got DSL through any other place it would be long distance and would cost more.

I live in the boonies and get dial up connecting at 28.8 bps and it costs $15.00 per unlimited but I don't use it much because it's soooooo slow. There is no cable out my way and a satalight setup is about $800 so I'm hopeing!

Cable or whatever Roadrunner is. It's fantastically fast, especially with this new computer, and rarely goes out. Together my cable/internet bill is 100$ a month (including DVR and whatnot).

I used to have dial up that connected slow like that (I live in the middle of nowhere too). We finally decided to get execulink wireless and it only cost about $100 or something to get hooked up.
