Thanks...my ISP offers it for only one dollar more a month.helpmerick said:There really aren't any negatives to moving to broadband. It simply isn't a dial-up world anymore. Updates, email attachments, and even many web sites now out pace the slowness of a dial-up connection.
Some may see price as one negative moving to dial-up, but I think you will make up for it in the increased usefulness of broadband, no need for a second phone line, and the time you will save no longer waiting for stuff to happen.
One word of caution, however, with a Windows machine, it is imperative that you keep a good anti-virus running all the time (I like AVG), use a hardware or good software firewall, use Firefox and run anti-spyware scans frequently. Otherwise, an unprotected Windows machine on broadband will tank fast. Keep it secure and you will be thrilled.
Good surfing to you on the high speed waves.

Look at: www.softcom.net for a run down.Benny Bumble said:Hi, Guitar's got it right! Best you really clarify what is "dial braodband". I never heard of that moniker.Is it as he suspects the file compression technique? For only a buck that may be the case. Better check Poochee. True broadband - YES, dial-up - NO
