We are on dial up here. It is att, cost $16.00 a month, has what is called accelarater, useing propel soft wear. Right now it says the speed is 40.0kbps, bytes sent 1,028,150 and climbing, bytes recieved 4,595953 , compresstion sent 14%, recieved 4%.

Seems quite fast to me but I don't mess around on peoples computer with dsl or cable. So far the only prooblem I have with this site is e mail notices of replys has been lacking.
We use cal wave to answer the phone while we are connected to the internet. It gives a notice of who is calling and the option of taking the call. Since the take the call option cost a extra $2.00 each time we just go off the net and call them back or call with the cell phone even though it is for bussness use and emergency only.
Att gives a 20% discount to AARP members on the cell phone contract.

We still have to use smoke signals for our local land line phone, Att stops local service a 1/2 mile down the road. Still the smoke signals works most of the time just would be cheaper for us to bundle the local, long distance and cell phones.
