What type of internet connection do you use?

I use AT&T Yahoo! DSL. How about you?

I have Road Runner Lite(or Light not sure how they spell it). It is a cheaper version of RR and is cable. The only problem I have with it is the slower load times but if it takes a while I usually start playing a game! :lol:

DSL for me.

Good by nature, but evil by my own free will.

DSL would be for me, too, if my parents had the money for it.

(so i use my laptop, and bootleg off the neighbors' super-fast cable.

In my area, we pay $12.99 per month for our DSL. That is pretty cheap.

AT&T Yahoo! DSL, right? isn't $12.99 only a 1-year introductory rate?

not only that, our landline service isn't SBC - it's a small regional carrier called Sage, and it's cheaper than SBC, plus we get 100 minutes of free long distance with them.

so ya, it's not TOO much more expensive, and i'd pay for it if i could, but i've had a lot of expenses lately, and i'm trying to cut costs while i save money for the rest of my college.

Actually I think it is, but...
One day the DSL people called us and said they were going to raise the price dramatically for our service. So we said that if it was going to be that high, then we should just quit. Not wanting to lose a prescious customer, the DSL people said they would give it to us for $12.99 per month.

And we have the Elite DSL (fastest)

Garrett! Go lie down or something!

And seriously, take your pain meds, man. And don't drink out of straws!
