I would also get Eathlink for the DSL and use Dish network for the satellite.  Is this cheaper than bundled SBC?  Right now the phone bill is $132.00 for everything.

I HIGHLY recommend Comcast.\n\nWe previously had DSL with SBC.  First, you should know that the SBC Customer Service reps are apparently chosen based on the fact that their IQ is less than 60.  Really, they were NEVER able to help us with any technical issues.  On top of that, we lost our connection due to their technical problems at least once a week.\n\nWhen we moved, we switched to Comcast (FYI, I have DTV for my tv signal, and we chose Comcast specifically for the high-speed connection).  Our connection is now faster AND more reliable.  In the year-and-a-half that we've had Comcast, we have lost the connection maybe three times.  Additionally, when you call them, the Customer Service reps not only listen to your problem, they are able to find a solution and give it to you with courtesy...We also find that when we do have to call, we spend less time on hold than we did with SBC (like 30 seconds compared to 20 minutes).  On top of all this, there have been a couple of occasions when we were late paying the bill...They called us a few days before the service was going to be terminated, and happily accepted the payment plan we suggested, and made it so that we wouldn't lose service.  They are truly a pleasure to deal with.

Cable Internet is around $40 here but often they will make you promotional offers for cheaper so I would reccommend you calling your local cable company and asking. Once you go cable you won't go back to dial up because its so much better and worth the extra money.

Customers are required to order online.\n\nThe offer includes:\n- DSL Express - $12.99 for 12 months\n- DSL Pro - $17.99 for 12 months\n- $49.99 Rebate towards modem or AT&T Wireless Gateway\n- AT&T Yahoo! High Speed Internet CSI kit\n\n\nOn May 1, 2003, SBC began offering Basic - S and Expert Plus promotions (defined below) in all regions except for the Northeast. Midwest Speed Tiers changed from 384 Kbps - 768 Kbps to 384 Kbps - 1.5 Mbps, and from 1.5 Mbps - 3 Mbps to 1.5 Mbps - 6 Mbps. Any Members with the original Speed Packages of 384 Kbps - 768 Kbps or 1.5 Mbps - 4 Mbps in the Midwest.\n\nThe following products were added to all regions.\n\nStatic IP Low Speed (up to 384 Kbps) \nDynamic IP High Speed (1.5 Mbps - 6.0 Mbps) \nOn March 25, 2004, SBC began offering the 1.5 Mbps - 3 Mbps Expert product for both Consumer and Business and discontinued offering the 1.5 Mbps - 6 Mbps Speed Tiers Product in all regions except in the Northeast.\n\nOn April 26, 2006, SBC began offering the Speed Tiers Elite product in all regions. The new speed tier is 3.0 Mbps - 6.0 Mbps with both Static and Dynamic IP capabilities. The product name is DSL Elite,available at 6500 ft (CO) and 8500 ft (RT). This product is available to both business and residential consumers. This offering allows SBC to compete with cable TV companies and to match products that are being offered with FTTX (Fiber to the Home) speeds.\n\nOnce you order for SBC (actually AT&T now) DSL, you would be provided with the equipments that you would be needing for your DSL Internet connection (such as the dsl modem, filters, data and ethernet cables) so you won't be needing to buy them. But if you are planning to connect several computers to the internet the you would need to buy a router for that or you can also tell the agent that you would be needing the 2wire modem/router (also capable of wireless connection) because you would be setting up several computers. I'm not sure if you're gonna be charged for this kind of modem/router though.\n\nI would have been able to provide how much their service meight cost for you if you only provided what city and state you are in. But for pricing and billing inquiries,I suggest you call this number 1 888 792 3751, this is their number for orders and 1 866 722 9246 for their sale department.\n\nOr you can also visit the following websites:\nwww.sbcpromotions.com \nwww.sbcsignup.com \ndsl.yahoo.com

Look at some of the DSL providers (phone companies) in your area and give them a call for some prices, I know verizon is like 14.95, or 17.95. it one of those. Cable is going to be more expensive and 60 dollars a month...

Well along with your SBC Yahoo! DSL subscription you should have received a Router with built in wireless connections.\n\nYou will need either an ethernet cable if you are connecting wired [1 comes with package] or you should get a USB or Laptop Wireless card preferably D-Link, Airlink, Linksys etc. Look around local stores and internet for deals on these. Anything around $20 is a good deal.

go for the 29.95 plan on VZ DSL, if you want fast internet like cable... it doesn't slow down, it is da bomb... Plus they are coming out with fiber optics which is cheaper than cable and way faster than anything

check w/ phone company and cable company...then decide betweent the 2\nfyi dsl's speed is not effected by the number of ppl on at once but cable is

Im with Telewest. This is on cable rather than ADSL, i would always opt for cable as you can get huge bandwidths when no one else in your area is using the line and they garuntee your minimum bandwidth is what you pay for. It is generally more reliable for speed than ADSL i have found.

I've had experience with all three of these, I prefer the wireless form Verizon.  Even when your signals quite weak it's speed is very good.  Something you might wanna look into, if you already have a cell phone, Look in your phone's menu and see if it offers a DUN setting, if this setting appears in your menu all you'll need is a USB cord and the drivers for your phone, and you can use it as a wireless modem.  This will save the expense of having to add another subscription account to your cell service.  All you will need to do is modify your contract, for unlimited Internet access.  This will usually only at about $25 a month to your total bill.  Where as if you purchase a contract for an air card this usually adds $75-$80 a month your cell phone bill.  I hope this helps good luck!

Depends on where you live and who offers DSL service in your area.  But, at my grandparents house I pratically forced them to switch from AOL dial-up to the AOL Verizon DSL package for the same price at $23 per month.  That's just the basic DSL 768k package.  But you don't need the AOL part.  You can just get Verizon 768k DSL for $15 per month.  Can't beat it if you ask me.  And right now for new subscribers to Verizon DSL, online orders get the first month free when you order online.\n\nYou might want to check out whoever offers high speed Cable in your area too.  Most Cable providers will give you a discount on a high speed connection if you are already a subscriber to their cable TV service.\n\nThere is no difference between a wired and wireless connection in regards to speed and quality.  But you will need to get a wireless router (I like Netgear and Linksys but D-Links are one sale right now for $21 after rebate).  If you have a laptop, it probably already has a WiFi card in it.  If you have a desktop you will need to get either a USB WiFi adapater (easier to install) or a PCI WiFi card.  Of course that doesn't matter if the PC is in the same room as the DSL modem.\n\nCheck out the links below for routers and adapters and how to install a WiFi network.  If you set up a Wireless network you should enable either WEP 128-bit encryption or WPA encryption and possibly mac address filtering, step by step instructions are located at Cnet, see the last link.

Check out:\n\nhttp://dsl.metrot1.com\n\nIt checks availability for DSL, Cable, and Satellite.  It will then allow you to compare them side by side, see any specials, and sign-up online.  They are even offering a $50 additional mail-in rebate on top of specials for signing up online.

Actually you can't have them both (well technically you could, but it would be redundant). SBC (now AT&T), as well as most other telcos, does not offer naked DSL. Meaning, you have to be an SBC landline phone service customer in order to have SBC DSL.\n\nIf you want high speed internet access AND Vonage, then you're going to have to get rid of SBC (AT&T). You could keep the SBC/Yahoo! DSL and still get Vonage, however, you'd be paying for phone service twice.\n\nTry cable internet coupled with Vonage.

The reason that I got the DSL was I got tired of getting "punted". I've always had the bill attached to my regular phone bill. They send you a DSL kit with a DSL modem, filters, and an Ethernet PCI card, if you need it. You are really going to wonder how you did it for so long without a DSL! I've had it for at least 4 years now. The service has been good, not stellar, but good. I don't care much for the tech service. Sometimes my service goes out. That's usually the fault of the local phone network.
