Being in BFE, DSL may be your only bet other than dial-up...and it's still better than dialup. I've got DSL for $40/mth at 512 down/128 up, can up it to 1.5mb down/368 up for like $54/mth. It's the only game in town, so if I don't want dialup, it's what I've got.

What's the catch though for getting such a good deal?

You have to live in the right neighborhood. It's fiber to the house. My local and long distance phone goes over the same line ($30). You can also use it for TV but I have sat..

Right. I guess I'm in the wrong neighborhood for that sort of service. If I mentioned the word "fiber" to my service provider they'd probably think I was talking about the cotton their uniform was made out of.
 I think there are only half a dozen people on this plan in my town though (heck, there are probably only half a dozen people with a computer at home), so performance is always good. |

That's fast Doug! My work is only 2344 down 881 up.
The test is done in Cali and I am in NC though.

3mb plus full digital package FREE! Beat that! Hey, it pays to be a Charter employee.

wow a lot of you guys get some pretty fast connections for reasonable or great deals
being that i wouldn't pay over $50 for high speed Internet the 256 Kbps for $49.95 doesn't sound incredibly fast for $50 a month i may just wait see if my cable company will ever get high speed in my area is 256 Kbps a common high speed connection any where i know its way faster than 56K but still seems slow for DSL does that seem slow to you seems like they are trying to throw a starving man a cracker being that there is no other high speed net in are area they are offering the bare minimum for top dollar
