Guest guest Posted June 30, 2002 Report Share Posted June 30, 2002 It sure sounds great I am paying for a separate phone line. How does this cost compare to the DSL? thanks for your info. I sure hope all is well . LOVE & HUGS, grandmomBEV what is dsl... DSL is not sattelite...it's " Digital Subscriber Line " and comes through your phone line. But it doesn't tie up the line...you can still get phone calls. It's also about 10 times faster that a 56K modem. We've had it for over a year, now...and I'm NEVER going back!! Dori...

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2002 Report Share Posted June 30, 2002 Hey Bev, I can tell you in this area, through Bell South, the DSL costs $45 a month if you have the call waiting/caller ID package on your phone, and $50 a month if you don't. You don't have to pay any additional ISP costs. (You don't have to pay anyone else to connect you to the Net, no need for Earthlink or AOL or whoever...the $50/month does it all.) It is SUPER fast, and I love it! We also got a router and networked our two computers, so we have DSL on both of them. ^-^-^-^-^-^-^-^-^-^-^-^-^-^-^-^-^ mama to , 21 mo, wCF and alpha-1 and to , 3 yr 8 mo w/alpha-1 > what is dsl... > > > DSL is not sattelite...it's " Digital Subscriber Line " and comes through your > phone line.

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2002 Report Share Posted June 30, 2002 Oops, I forgot to mention there is an initial set up cost of $100-200 or so. They will come and set everything up for you. Then, it's super easy, you are *always* connected to the Internet. No dialing in, ever! ^-^-^-^-^-^-^-^-^-^-^-^-^-^-^-^-^ mama to , 21 mo, wCF and alpha-1 and to , 3 yr 8 mo w/alpha-1 > RE: what is dsl... > > Great .This sounds really good.

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2002 Report Share Posted June 30, 2002 Bev, DSL can, if as in our area, most telephones are NOT connected through fiberoptic cable, but the television IS, that cable setup, already in place, can be used and may (no guarantees) reduce the cost as a cable system does not have to be installed--again. If I were wealthy, however, I would have at least T-1 where wone is connected to the inter net all the time, or T-3, whereby one is connected to the internet and the web all the time--but then I don't see myself winning the state lottery any time soon--I mean one does have to at last BUY the tickets! Good luck. Most corporations have at least DSL, though! n, wishfully what is dsl... DSL is not sattelite...it's " Digital Subscriber Line " and comes through your phone line.
