what is the point of paying $50 a month for dsl if it is slower than dial up?!?

If you are, you've been duped.  DSL should be much faster than dial up...and if it isn't...find a new service provider.

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.

There are Free dial up providers. Why not use one of those?

if you are using dial up, it is not very optimal, there is a lag in the recieving, you need broadband to enjoy it

There is no way to increase the speed of a dial-up connection.  However there is software such as Net-Zero 3G "high-speed" which uses compression technology to make web pages load faster.  It will increase your browsing speed but will do nothing to increase download speeds.  Net-Zero 3G is $10 per month but if you're going to spend that you may as well get DSL and you can get cheap DSL for $15 per month.

If you have a SBC telephone connection, you can try SBC Yahoo DSL, they provide it for $19.99.  Dial-up services such as Netzero and PeoplePC are cheaper too, but slower thatn cable and DSL.

It sounds like you are paying for two services. If you have DSL from Yahoo you don't need AOL>

I live in a rural area as well, no cable or dsl ever coming this way, so I invested in high speed satellite internet.\nDirectway satellite provides this service, contact them to get you in touch with an installer.\n\nIt'a about $100.00 a month for 15 months, and then it drops down to $60.00 or so. I forget how much the Installation fee was, I have had satellite for 1 1/2 years now. It's been pretty good as far as reception, just like the tv, when it's HEAVILY snowing or raining reception goes out (sometimes) until it clears up,and that is not very often, can count on one hand, but other than that, wonderful! You can download music, watch clips, anything that dsl does, satellite does, maybe it takes a couple of seconds longer to upload the info but it's the only choice I had!I am very happy with my choice.

That's an oxymoron, there is no such thing as fast dial-up.  If you are looking for fast internet service check out DSL, I don't know what is in your area but I'm sure a Google search would turn something up.  My grandparents have Verizon DSL and it's pretty fast, comparable to Cable high speed if you're just browsing, it's weakness is downloads but still much faster than dial-up.  You might want to check out any high speed cable services in your area as well.  DSL will typically run you $15 to $20 per month and high speed cable will run $35 per month and up.

If you just signed up I would call and see if they will honor the lower price.  If not tell them you will cancel the DSL

Make sure you have filters on all your phone lines, including any TV boxes that use the phone. This can cause slowness. You can check with the manual and see if you can access the DSL router to see what DL and UP speeds you are at. If you are below what is promised then check with the company. If you are above where you are supposed to be then either live with what you have or call the company, pay more to upgrade. This is all dependant on how your DSL is setup and it may not be the same way I am familiar with. They also have Internet Speed Check's that you can use to check your speed. That will give you an idea if you are at a good speed for DSL. \n\nhttp://reviews.cnet.com/7004-7254_7-0.html
