It seems I can get DSL access reasonably cheaply (at least compared to other rates in the area): 1.5 Mb/256 Kb for just under forty bucks. Just a few questions for those who are more DSL-informed than I:
I have the option of getting a USB modem or an Ethernet modem. Which is better? I would need an Ethernet card; what's the most I should pay for that? And, the big question, which modem and how much?
According to dslreports.com, I'm just under 18,000 feet from the CO. How much is that going to affect my speed? Is that even worth it?
I already run ZoneAlarm; should I invest in a router as well? How much should I pay?
I think these cover most of the questions I have for right now.
I'm sure I'll check back later with more. Thanks in advance!
