Fordman I use netins DSL.. It is 1000X's better than the dial up, and only $10 more a month plus they come hook it up and give you a free modem. I used the dial up for about 2 years b4 I went to the DSL.

For viewing your bandwidth you may want to go to http://www.analogx.com/contents/down...etwork/nsl.htm and download Netstatlive. This handy little utility gives you instant reporting on your connection. The download is pretty small @ 257Kb and when installed is only 286Kb.

Roadrunner cable through Time Warner here. Switched to cable 3.5 years ago and will never go back to dial up. No DSL here.

For technical stuff, I ask my 12 year old son to help out.

Down here, RoadRunner is king! I was a dial-up fool, highest I ever got was 26K bps, now I'm getting 3.9 megabits!

Thanks for the link to Netstat Live, good little program!
