One of the reasons I have stayed with dial-up is with my 56 K modum my dial-up speed has held steady at 50.6 K over a 6 year period. I don't do many downloads except for Norton amd MSM updates so I can live with it. I also have accelerator and all this for a whopping $14.95 a month plus unlimited minutes and free talk to a person backup service. It's not the fastest but it is the cheapest around Ocala.
