If you have a SBC telephone connection, you can try SBC Yahoo DSL, they provide it for $19.99.  Dial-up services such as Netzero and PeoplePC are cheaper too, but slower thatn cable and DSL.

Cable broadband Internet service.\nIn large subscriber surveys, Cox receives the highest scores for performance, customer service and reliability among cable broadband ISPs. A cable modem is included for free if you install it yourself. Download speeds top out at 4.0Mbps compared to dial-up (50Kbps) and DSL (generally 1.5Mbps or 3.0Mbps). Subscribers to other Cox services can get a discount of $10 to $15 per month. Cox isn't available in all markets; in that case, Earthlink cable also gets high scores.\n•  Earthlink cable\n   (*est. $42 per month)\n\n>> Where to buy \nCable broadband ISP.\nEarthlink ties with Cox as the best cable ISP, and is the best choice if Cox isn't available in your area. Earthlink also gets high scores for overall customer satisfaction and reliability, though its technical support ratings have slipped in the last year. Earthlink includes a highly regarded spam filter, along with other security features. Speed is rated at 5.0Mbps, and a modem is free with self-installation. If neither Cox nor Earthlink is available in your area, Road Runner and Optimum Online cable services are close runners-up.\n•  SBC Yahoo DSL Pro\n   (*est. $22 for the first six months, $35 thereafter)\n\n>> Where to buy \nDSL Internet service.\nReviews say cable Internet service is faster than DSL, but DSL is usually less expensive. DSL is also available in several speed classes, so you can choose to sacrifice some speed for a lower monthly bill. Among DSL service providers, SBC Yahoo and Verizon get the highest ratings for reliability and overall customer satisfaction. Yahoo's standard DSL gets up to 3.0Mbps downstream -- comparable to most cable ISPs -- yet Yahoo DSL costs less. Availability depends upon your local phone-service provider, since DSL works through existing phone lines. (SBC will soon change its name to AT&T as it completes a merger with that company.)\n•  Verizon basic DSL\n   (*est. $15 per month, 768Kbps download speed)\n\n>> Where to buy \nBudget DSL.\nWhile most cable and DSL services reach download speeds of 3.0Mbps, Verizon's new budget DSL has a maximum downstream speed of just 768Kbps. While much slower than other broadband, basic Verizon DSL service is still 15 times faster than a dial-up connection. And because it is DSL, your connection to the Internet is always on and it doesn't tie up your phone line. While reviews say Verizon's basic DSL service is nowhere near as fast as other broadband, its low cost makes it a compelling alternative to a slower dial-up ISP like AOL or Earthlink dial-up, both of which are more expensive.\n•  Earthlink dial-up\n   (*est. $22 per month)\n\n>> Where to buy \nDial-up.\nEarthlink tops nearly every review we found for dial-up Internet service, and it's available just about everywhere. Reviews say Earthlink dial-up is easy to set up, has thousands of access numbers, and has a low call and Web-page failure rate. Its cost is average for an unlimited dial-up ISP, but if Verizon's basic DSL is available in your area, Verizon is faster and less expensive.\n•  NetZero or Juno dial-up\n   (Up to 10 hours of free usage per month)\n\n>> Where to buy \nFree Dial-up.\nIf your needs amount to occasionally checking your e-mail or a little Web surfing, NetZero and Juno (which are owned by the same parent company) offer a free dial-up Internet connection for up to ten hours each month. In exchange for a free ISP, you'll have to contend with permanent advertising on your computer screen. Once your ten hours are up, you'll be charged about $10 a month for ad-free access.

earthlink.com simply redirects to earthlink.net. That way there is only one website.

Theyre both top companies. Its only a matter of personal preference I'd say if the DLink because of price as you have no brand bias yet.

Most definetely go with SBC Global.  I have tried the majority of them.  If u ask them they can set up up for $21.99.  Great service, great connection.  Tell them u want the $21.99 deal, but remember you have to negotiate that same price one yr from the time u sign up, every year.  G L    I love sbc.  I pay $68.03 every month for telephone, all amenities, long distance anywhere in cont. USA,  Internet service.  They now have a special going for TV, Telephone, and Computer. All in one and very inexpensive.  Check em' out.  G L

Neither one is better than the other. You still have spots of dead service, just like DirecTV and DishNetwok. You still have rain fade and atmospheric conditions that interfere with it. I am not paying for radio when I can get it free from the same vehicle.

SBC.  I have everything through them, except my cell phones.  Makes it a lot easier to pay my bill I can pay my two internet accounts, three phone lines, and my dish all at one time.  There is also a discount for all bundled services.

I would say AT&T Yahoo! High Speed Internet. It has two packages that are under $25 a month. \n\nThe Express package which has FAST download speeds up to 1.5 Mbps comes with 11 email accounts, each with 2GB of storage, and comes with virtually unlimited photo storage.  And that is $12.99 a month for a year!\n\nLearn more: http://www.sbc.com/gen/general?cdvn=localize&pid=1080&prod-snip=res_express_dynamic_term\n\nOrder Now: http://www.sbc.com/gen/general?pid=1080&cdvn=localize&prod-snip=dsl_res_order \n\nFor five more bucks, you can get the Pro package which has all the benefits and features of Express except you get download speeds up to 3.0 Mbps! This is the package recommended for wireless home networking solutions. And that is $17.99 a month for a year!\n\nLearn more: http://www.sbc.com/gen/general?cdvn=localize&pid=1080&prod-snip=res_pro_dynamic_term\n\nOrder Now: http://www.sbc.com/gen/general?pid=1080&cdvn=localize&prod-snip=dsl_res_order\n\nFor more packages, check here:\n\nhttp://www.sbc.com/gen/general?pid=6431\n\nHope this helped!
