Yes we have cable but they want $40 a month (nm)
.
I have cable and I get 20 hours/month
dial-up with that, so that if I lose power I can use dial-up to download. I use a laptop too. You can check with your DSL provider to see if they also offer some dial-up.
where I live, bundle package for HSI/CABLE/PHONE is $99 a month. nm

I pay $35/month through Vonage for unlimited LD. Local phone co. charges $50/month. NM

My telephone service is VOIP, but it s through my cable service, along with my cable internet. .
We have had VOIP for about a year now and I love it. I really can't tell a difference in traditional service, except the price. One of the best calls of my life was to Bellsouth to cancel our service!
Comcast cable has ULD that goes through their cable sm
and there are no limitations. I asked them. They said that you could use the phone 24/7 and it would make no difference. The cable modem has a telephone connection and backup battery in there, all in one unit. If you lose your power, the backup battery kicks in for 12 hours I think they said. I personally was reluctant but it is clearer than Verizon regular phone service. Clear as a bell! It is $39.95 a month. If you have any cable service, you might want to check and see if they have this. This is VOiP protocol but I just have never seen anything that was as clear as theirs.
If Comcast has this, it is my guess that the other cable internet services either have it or will have it in the future. This is fairly new with Comcast.
1200 lpd for me nm

I have an SX 1200 APC www.apc.com
Our power frequently goes off briefly when there's a storm nearby, even if it isn't storming here. The backup has been really helpful.
M-TEC has a Basic program (12 month) and a Premier program (18 month). To WAH, you should take the P

most MTs I know do about 1000-1200 lpd

It took me 2 weeks to get to 1200.
NM
1200 lines per day.

It ought to be nice at $300-1200 a night....sm
We just went to Disney for vacation for a week and stayed at one of the All American resorts there - and the price package was 1/3 of the Polynesian.
typically 1000-1200 /d nm

What would you make in incentive doing 1200 lpd?
With MQ's new plan in January: $0 incentive on 1200 lines/day.
Spheris: 1200 lines a day = $24 a week incentive.
What about where YOU work?!!
One oil exec made $1200 PER SECOND during Jun/Jul/Aug!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That may be the AMERICAN way, but I'm steaming when there are people out there who can't get medicine, have no place to live, when America is paying disabled people pennies to live on in a month, and children don't have decent schools, teachers, or buildings to stay in.
And I'm not finished here!
The /act/ put on by our congressmen and women yesterday turned my stomach. It was totally a PRODUCTION.........but I hope they don't think they fooled anybody. Why did they even bother wasting my time and theirs.
The oil companies didn't even get a slap on the wrist.
I'm sick of off shore companies getting a safe haven to do their work and oil companies being allowed to suck what little dollars we have left in our billfolds OUT......while they are making $1200 A SECOND!!!!!! THAT IS PER SECOND people!. That is obscene. WE ARE AT WAR HERE......we are all making concessions......and our children are getting killed over there.
When is the insanity AGAINST the American worker going to end?
My minimum is around 1200/day which isn't that hard to get. -nm

Mine is 1200 too, and i think its hard.
i usually just barely get it by 6 hours... how long does it take you?
Need to type 1200 lines on new
I just started new job about a week ago. I need to type 1200 lines/ day to reach my income goal. How long does it usually take to reach this amount of lines? I can't seem to find a comfortable routine. I want to work nights but no luck with that. I am straining too much to see the work because the eyes are just too tired by the end of the day and day time is full of interruptions. Thought about splitting it up with 4 hours in the day and 4 hours at night. Anyone heard of doing this? Any other suggestions? I have an Expander but I haven't put all of the shortcuts in yet.
thanks for input.
between 1000 and 1200/day in 5 hours. VR and
straight typing. Depends on work type and account. 
well, some newbies are getting 5-6 cpl; so, 1200 lines day = $16,000

Hours per 1200 lines
Just want to get some feedback on how long it takes to do 1200 lines. I did clinic notes and was an IC for four years and work on and off throughout the day, so I really never had to work straight through the day to produce. I am now going to do acute care-hospital work minus lab and radiology reports. I have about four years experience.
Thanks,
I can do approximately 1200-1300 per day...
When I am in the "zone" I can get 1400-1500.
I usually average 1200 in 6 hours. But
I end up surfing the net and take a bathroom break every 2 hours, so it ends up being around 1K. I should be doing better, but some days are so boring on I am here way too much, when I should be typing.
1200 is the minimum at most places for
full-time. Personally I transcribe anywhere from 1700 to 2000 lines in an 8-hour day.
Diff between 1200 lines/day with MQ vs Spheris:
If you type 1200 lines a day for 5 days of the week with each company, here is the incentive difference:
MQ: Incentive would be $0.
S: Incentive would be $24.
That is for the entire week.
Clarification: 1200 lpd x 5 days/week...
1200 lpd x 5 days/week =
MQ: $0 incentive
Spheris: $24 incentive/week
I think the average is 1200 lpd for full time
x
1200 to 1600 on good days (nm)

How long does it take you to type 1200 lines?
On a normal good day it takes me about 5 hours, somedays I just can't stay focused so it takes longer. I'm still debating about getting an Expander so just wanted to see how long it took people on average.
I worked 2 hrs 35 last Saturday and got my 1200 for the 8-hour day sm
Had the same epiphany. End result? I have worked 72 the past 2 weeks (not quite 80, not till tomorrow). How much money have I made? $2000 at 8.5 cpl SO FAR, I have to work tomorrow.
Where I work requires average of 1200
lines per day for a 2-week period.
Also applied 2 months ago. Think it was 8 cpl for 1200 lpd, going up in 1/4-cent increments, and U
n
Interviewed last week, 1200 lpd, low pay, lots of restrictions. I said no. nm

Most expect 1200 lines a day, but I think I've seen 1100.
How hard that is depends mostly on work availability and how good the platform is.
1200 lines should be a given. You could be making superb money!

Our department does 1200+ reports a day. They average 11 lines. nm
This is for 2-3 line normal chests to MRIs. They look longer, but if you take 65 characters with spaces, you will be surpised. Here's an example:
CHEST:
INDICATION: Chest pain.
FINDINGS: Heart size within normal limits. Lungs are clear.
IMPRESSION: Normal chest.
This is 116 characters with spaces, which is 3 lines (if you round up - actually 2.55 lines). If by the line, you would make $0.30.
Something to think about.
Do the same with an MRI of the knee. Copy and paste it into word and count it. A very long one I had was only 15 lines.
I have more than paid for VR. I achieve 1200 lines in 3 hours. No need to hate sm
the MT to use technology to its full capability. Do you think a company cares if you type everything no. The bottom line is you have to get you line count.
My line count went from 1200+ to <800 and I never caught up. I did change jobs ;) nm

I can do 1200 lines in 5 hours so with 2 full time jobs
I work on average of 9-10 hours a day. When I sit down to work, I do not do anything but work. I do not surf the net, etc. Also, I am single and I live for my weekends so during the week I work hard. I also have 2 kids so most of my work is done during their day at school and after they are in bed for the night. I have a ton of short cuts in my Expander program too. If I type something twice, I come up with a short cut for it. Its not that hard. I would try the one full time and one part time and see how your time is first and if it is okay, then I would bump it up gradually. You don't want to burn yourself out but if you can do it and you have good accounts, go for it!!!!
A friend of mine loves her Kirby, but it is a little pricy at $1200.
nm
I would have been a hooker at Bunny Ranch (they make $1200/hr). My equipment is obsolete now
Sounds amazingly stressful. I'll stick to my 1200 lines a day, thanks. nm

I have 17 years acute care experience and don't make 1200 lines in 6 hours. sm
I work for a company that is VERY picky about their work, 100% QA everything. I have been with them over a year, and have to go back and listen to my work a second time while proofing. I only make 160-170 lines an hour, but the pay is good for that, and I have learned so much in the year that I can go to work anywhere without problems. For me it is worth the extra time to put in the few extra hours a week to have really top QA. There is room for all types in this business, the really fast ones, and the slower ones who work differently, you just have to find your place. Ideally, we should all type 200 lines an hour and have 99%+ QA, but I don't thank too many of us make it. Good luck to you.
Cable
I notice you have Adelphia!I have it also in Ohio and am anxiously awaiting Time-Warner to take over and get Roadrunner. I've had problems and problems with it over the years. I can't get fast access with our phone company as they are not down our road yet (in country). You are lucky to be able to switch, though.
Anyone not have cable TV at all?
What do you watch? It seems like the primetime sitcoms aren't very family friendly. We just canceled our basic cable because they took two more channels away, Discovery and ABC Family, which meant we were paying $20 a month for TBS, PBS, and four free local channels. Nobody watches channels like Home Shopping Network, QVC, or Government Access, so why do they even include them? There's only one show I'll really miss, but it'll be out on DVD eventually. Not that I even watched much TV. The house just feels really quiet without any background noise. Where's that Internet radio site I bookmarked?
If cable goes (sm)
Looking into Vonage and wondering about problems with cable if it goes down, not quite sure how it works. email me please about ur opinion
sohocafenoir@comcast.net
thanks much...
got rid of my cable, no more TV
for a year now. Just watch movies from Net Flix. Got tired of all the commercials.
cable
I have cable and love it. Before we moved here I lived where I could only get dial up. What a difference. It is worth the money!
Ahh. Thanks. If that's cable TV, then that's why

Cable or DSL
I have had cable internet service and thinking of switching to Bell South Ultra Fast 6.0. Do you think Bell South is okay too?
