Hi Bw,

ont know if you have access to any of:

CavTel,

ATT

Verizon

Cox/Comcast

etc

All have packages of DSL or Cable modem - these are millions of bits per second kinds of services and the prices can be as noted above...

Dial-up is 56 thousand bits per second (if your modem negotiates that good a connection with the other end's modem.....it can be and often is less..

I pay about @ 50/mo for Cable I'net connection - dont use their TV or Phone - but could get all for about @ 110/mo.  Due to some local wiring issues, Verizon doesnt support low-cost DSL for my area - it'd be 110/mo.  If your Local phone wire supplier doesnt offer it...then you probably cant get it from CavTel or anyone else either...

 Good luck
