How do you connect to the internet at your home? I am moving and need a new provider. I am looking for something cheap, but still usable.

1. Cable is quick on the fly
if you already have a cable hookup.

DSL, meh. It takes 2-3 days to get. Both are cheap.

2. For dialup I've been using Copper...
www.copper.net

10 bucks a month and they've been very reliable, with decent support if you need it. I had Earthlink for years and they were great, but the price was higher and they started flaking out a bit. If you expect a LOT of email, watch out because Copper has a 25MB limit. That sounds like a lot, but there's one clown who keeps emailing me videos and sometimes taking up over half the limit himself. I have a Yahoo account for most subscription stuff to keep it out of the Copper account..

Hi-speed, everyone's getting into the aciton, but check out your phone and cable companies first for deals. I've had both DSL and cable over the years, and cable is faster until you get a lot of neighbors online at the same time.
