yes i have verizon online DSL and it comes with a modem that was westell 2200. the package was pretty cheap and it ties in with the phone biil, or you could just buy a separate phone line but verizon is cheaper, and you can get aim, go to www.aim.com to download it so you can get all your friends screen names and talk to them!

i hope i helped!!!

Sure there are a lot of things you can do. Your cable company should offer high-speed Internet access through fibre-optic cable lines and have nothing to do with your phone line at all. Make all the damn calls you want while you surf the Internet.

The biggest problem with cable is that it can go offline a lot, service interruptions just to fix a problem not even near your area, router connections dropping all the time. That's another thing how many computers do you actually have? If you have two or more you need to buy a LINKSYS NOT A D-LINK router, cables etc to link everyone onto the Internet.

Your best bet right now is to go for a service that is high-speed and has a built in router in the modem. Cable costs about $50 dollars a month with most services coming in at about $44 a month.

There are several services to choose from but I recommend high-speed DSL on an easy to use, teen, child and adult friendly service.

AOL is the best for being cheap and they give you a couple of months free with signing up and a highspeed modem and you can use your router for getting 2 or more computers on the Internet or buy from Best Buy their built in router/modem starter kit.

They will also bill a chequing account if there is no credit card. None of this screws up with the phone make all the calls you like. You need to get off of dialup anyway as it's so slow and you need your phone free.

Look into DSL (Direct Service Line) High-speed providers in the phone book and run a serach on Google of Internet Service Providers. Also, there is high-speed through digital phone lines that can in fact be used while on the phone and not cause any problems both go at the same time. Check Google and phone around. But yes, I am in favor of AOL for how cheap it is.
