:Glad to see people finally accusing phone of penalizing vs. discounting which cable has been doing.
And besides, no matter the price of DSL or Cable Modem service... considering Dial up was pushing close to $24.99 a month for a single computer on line, why would ANYONE complain at ANY broadband service for multiple computer for under $59 a month considering all you can do with this broadband over DSL.
With dial-up, you have to have a phone line. So that dial-up requires a $25 POTS line. With some ISPs, you could come close to the $40-50 range just with dial-up.
