I finally got my DSL from Southwestern bell 2 weeks ago (took 3.5 months for them to connect). It is awesome. 13.9 meg download took about 2 mins. The only problems is how slow they and others like Pacific bell take to connect. Actually, at the same time I ordered one for my office and it is still not there. The cost is 39.95 per month for me. It actually has saved me some money since I got rid of an extra phone line at home used for the 56k modems. I soon will toss an old ISP also so I will save more money. The other advantage, a great one, is that I got xrouter pro 130 to connect my DSL modem, laserprinter and my 3 macs....now all three macs can access the internet at the same time. Before I did this with xrouter, I could get on, or my wife, but not at the same time.
