it doesn't sound all too bad. I've been considering looking into highspeed connection and have my wife on a Vonage phone system too.

God Bless America!

Hi Hunter... What kind of connection is that? DSL? Cable? What kind of infrastructure did you need, and how long did you have to wait?

Thanks,

WLL

Wastelandlive Its a ADSL connection.

If you purchase the broadband through a company, about a month due to the extra paperwork involved.

If you do it as a individual few days to week.

If the infastructure is not in place, Telecom put it in.

I will ask a friend to send me a new link.

TV Cable e pay 250.000 for an 1000k connection, plus TV and all the movie channels. ETB its still more expensive than that.

Prices are so incrdibly HIGH I'm paying for 1300 Kbs (at times up to (1500) only $12.99 plus $1.04 in taxes. I can't imagine paying over a $100 a month for broadband.
