I've been working at home for almost nine years and have been on dial up.  We live out in the country and DSL/cable modem hasn't been available all this time.  We aren't even on the DSL list.  Found out yesterday that we are going to have cable run out here and we'll have fast speed internet via cable.  Is that as good as DSL?  I'm really excited about this!  Just wondered cable is good and reliable fast speed internet.  I think anything will be better than 45 Kbps.

Thanks!

You may have to reinstall it for the computer to recognize the modem.

If you don't have separate modem software, you may have to reinstall Windows. Be sure you back up anything you don't want to lose. You shouldn't lose anything, but just in case....

I'm moving and won't have a home phone with DSL for a month so I'm about to buy a Blackberry Pearl so I can use it as a modem and tether it to my laptop for downloading sound files and then uploading my work.  I've about gone insane in the details so I'm looking for anyone who has done this and can confirm for me that it works. 

My cell phone provider has told me this will work.

Can anybody give me their experiences with cable televison or dish, specifically Dish Network or DirectTV?

I am considering getting one of these but don't know which one to go with.  Thank you!
