I have finally convinced Rick to get us broadband Internet. I have the task of investigating what is out there. So far, it seems I will be going with Frontier , aswe have thier phone service. I can do it for less than $60 a month..for phone and high speed, no dial up internet service. First three months are free. So after I talk to Rick about this I will probably call Frontier back.

Ah the joy of Broadband. I remember the olden days when we had dial-up and nearly everyday was a nightmare. Trust me when you get Broadband you really will notice a difference!!

Oh I cannot wait. I have experienced broadband already..when I go to the library, to wait to pick up Rick after work, I bring in my laptop and it is great. Often I have done alot of my downloading from there, just to get it done quicker.

We get our phone and internet service from a company named Frontier as well. What a coincidence! That dial-up service we had in the beginning was very slow. My bill is also less than $60/month for phone and high speed.

It is now official, I called Frontier and we will have the equipment by the weekend.

How easy is the self install kit to use? I will be getting the kit and wires for the PC and a wireless box for the laptop. Just hope it does not take me all weekend to figure it out.

What does that translate to in US dollars? Sounds like it may be a good deal, though.

That's about $37 or so Marie.
