What Kind Of Internet Service Should I Get???

From Northeast Texas, 1 post

IM a teenager and fed up wit our internet service. It is Dial-Up and slower than molases in the winter. You get the point. Anyway, my Dad dosent want to switch to another kind of internet, becuz he thinks it will be to expensive. We're payin $15 a month. I need to know what kind of service to get-as in Dsl, or Broadband, or whatever. 'm not a comp genius. All i want s an internet service that will allow me to surf the web and not tie up the phone lines, surf really fast, be able to play music games and videos, cost as much as or less than the current service we have-$15-and not have to install any complicated stuff, and not have to pay for another phone line.
Please give me advice.
All i want is cheap fast service.
Please give me advice on what kind of service to get and which provider to use.
Thanks soo much in advance!!

You can get 8 or 16mb broadband really cheaply on offer from any ISP. Just shop around. If you use a DSL it will come with DSL filters which split the line to your PC and phone, so you can use the net and the phone at the same time.



The pages load a lot quicker but the best part is not waiting ages for files to download.

You can get broadband internet and free phone calls all wrapped up in a £19.95/package from UWDC

I strongly reccomend AOL (America OnLine or AOL UK). You get a good broadband speed via ADSL and you can always depend on it for reliablility. AOL treasures all of it's customers and makes all offers open to old customers as well as new! For instance, AOL just sent us a free wireless router.

If you are going with AOL though, try to aim for an always-on connection by buying an additional router or getting a router from AOL that is suppourted, as using a standard ADSL modem means that you'll have to use something called VPN to use your broadband, which means you'll basically have to dial-up like with a standard dial-up connection but with a broadband modem and connection (which can get very annoying).
