Well you can download programs with dialup but chances are you'll go over your hours and have to pay more than you would have for dsl. Just make sure you read all the fine print. Some dsl isps suck big time, they'll limit you and stuff.Depends on the provider, of course, but you're generally looking at anywhere between $25-50 depending on bandwidth, etc.Mr Smith wrote: How much does DSL cost?
Look in your phone book's Yellow Pages under Internet Service Providers. No one here can tell you who in your area has the best deal, you'll have to find that yourself.Mr Smith wrote: Uuug. Does anybody know any good providers for about the price of dial up?
(but it's bulk, with no rescrictions I don't think)Whats T1? And whats LAN?Red Squirrel wrote: Also check into stuff like a T1, I heard in some places it's super cheap. Here it's like 1k per month, and DSL is faster so a T1 is not worth it.
First off, Red, a T1 gives you a net of 1.536 Mbps downstream AND upstream bandwidth. The vast majority of home users will get no benefit from that kind of high upstream bandwidth, whereas a business user who maintains large databases at various locations could make real use of it if they've got a T1 or T3 connection... essentially cut any downtime due to bandwidth bottlenecks. That's why residential users generally can't get a T1 connection, because there isn't enough demand for the service providers to make money off of expanding the infrastructure to residential zones. As far as downstream bandwidth, definitely, most DSL and Cable internet providers offer plans with greater downstream bandwidth than T1s.Mr Smith wrote:Whats T1?

Dial-up is less than DSL. Here Verizon DSL is $29.95/month. Good price.Red Squirrel wrote:
Less than dialup in the long run, since you can save money by downloading programs instead of buying them.

Dedicated internet connections, such as T1, T3, OC-3, etc. are symmetrical, meaning you get the same downstream bandwidth as upstream. Shared connections, like what is offered to home users are assymetrical.
A LAN is a 'local area network', basically a private network like what you'd have at a home or business. A WAN is a 'wide area network' which is a reference to the internet at large, and has a much larger set of IP addresses available.
Sooooo... what do you need for a lan connection?0 wrote:Dial-up is less than DSL. Here Verizon DSL is $29.95/month. Good price.Red Squirrel wrote:

Typical dial-up here is around $10. Unlimited access. No going over hours Red. Unlimited access.
I have dial-up but I'm seriously looking at DSL.
My dial-up is through Highstream and it's great service and costs me $8.95/month(unlimited access).

Certain areas are really blurry. Coney Island you can't see at all but then the rest of Brooklyn is clear. I don't know if this is done on purpose.Jack Potato wrote: google maps shows new york really good.
