They're all pretty much the same, though AOL is junk IMHO.  I'd probably pick Earthlink out of the rest.  They are more expensive but you get what you pay for.  The others (aside from AOL) keep their price low by cramming far more connections onto a single back-haul connection to the internet.  This reduces performance which is already agonizingly slow for dial-up service anyway.\n\nFor broadband, I wouldn't choose any of them.  Go with the local cable company if it's available.  Very fast and very reliable.  Next, I'd go with DSL from the local telco if it's available.  DSL has very limited coverage because of its technical limitations but if you're within less than 3 wire miles of the telco's central office it's OK.  Another option is wireless.  It's availability is limited, usually to rural and semi-rural areas.  It can get funky in bad weather and the antennas are vulnerable to lightning strikes because they are often mounted on water towers or cell towers in order to get a decent coverage area for the provider.

There is a couple dollars fees and taxes, not much more.  But also, the $12.99 is limited time (I think 6 months.)  Also, unless DSL is all you can get, a lot of times Cable is better, faster, easier.  I get Cox Cable for $14.95/month perminantly, no limits.\n\nI also recommend highly against loading any software to get broadband connectivity.  With Yahoo/AT&T it's almost impossible (not quite, but almost.)  With most Cable companies, although they send a disc, you usually don't need it.  \n\nLast advice:  Use a router, whatever you do.  Routers provide a basic hardware based firewall which is not as suspect to bugs and problems.  Even if you just have 1 computer.  Though more than just computers connect to the internet these days, so it may be worth it more in the long run.

If its not in the list, your area is not ready for it yet. What you have to do is call your local phone/Cable company and see what is avaible in your area

Try austar they have internet access not sure about satellite but im sure you know they are the Pay TV suppliers to rural australia so i assume their broadband works the same..Or .. I think AOL is the best especially when bundled with your phone plan, not sure if they do broadband satellitle go to www.aol.com.au to look at pricing options. And whats avavilable I used to be with Telstra  and was for almost 20yrs we were spending 300 a month on phone and internet , i questioned this many times as i couldnt believe we were possibly spending that , now im with AOL and my bill averages just over a hundred a month.

Comcast doesn't offer DSL, they offer Cable Modem service.\n\nI have SBC DSL.\n\nGenerally DSL has lower prices but offers lower speeds than Cable internet.\n\nIf you are just doing web surfing, search, e-mail, streaming/downloading music, DSL is often "good enough".\n\nIf you are watching lots of videos amassing a huge audio library from subscription music services, it's nicer to have the higher speeds you can get with Cable internet.\n\nA site called dslreports.com offers reviews of different DSL and Cable providers.

I would try calling AT&T first and ask them if it is available.  If not, try verizon.  If it is still a no go, call COX cable or time warner.\n\nLast resort..go with satellite broadband....available anywhere.

The best and quickest answer is unfortunately qwest.com or Qwest.> They are horrible though. Check with Comcast and Att and see if they have local service available yet. When I left there last year the only choice was Qwest and they are horrible.\nGood luck =)\nPersonally if they are still the choice I'd go for a cell phone service.

Mediacom is probably your provider, but Cable Movers is the best resource (see link below) to find out who your cable company is and their current promotions.

BellSouth has a $25/mo plan. It is 256/128. I have that at my office and it is more than adequite. If you notice most sites only let you download at 150kbs to 350kbs. Unless you are running several computer or updating computers while trying to surf the net you will not notice the difference. \ni did a major security update for a customer today, AVG, Spybot, SpywareGuard, SpyBlaster, Defender, and SyGate and they never topped 300kbs and that was with Cox Cable at my home. 6Mb&#92;768kbs. Tell BellSouth you want to downgrade to the DSL Lite package. They do not care. \nFYI Cox offers a similar package of 256kbs/256kbs for $25/mo

There are many areas of the company still not wired for broadband or DSL; that's unfortunately a function of the companies that are servicing your area.  If your community has cable TV, contact the provider(s) and find out when they will be offering it.  Same thing with your local phone company: call them and find out when DSL will be available.\n\nIt's happening..but it's definitely happening slowly.

Yahoo and SBC offer DSL for $16.95/month right now.  I still can't believe it when I find people in my area still using dial up.  If it's not available in your area, call your local providers and complain about their price.  Also call your state's corporation commission and complain there too.  Broad band should be very cheap everywhere, but just isn't yet.\n\nThough I use cable for my Inet connection.  I get 9MBit/sec with cable, can only get 1.5Mbit/sec with DSL.  But, then again, I'm paying $55/month.

go for the 29.95 plan on VZ DSL, if you want fast internet like cable... it doesn't slow down, it is da bomb... Plus they are coming out with fiber optics which is cheaper than cable and way faster than anything

They have very good customer service too...I had my cable modem replaced within 24 hours after it died.
