I am so sick and tired of having 56K when every other person on this planet has something faster, so this morning, (this has got to be the millionth time), I asked my mom if I could get a faster connection for Christmas. Before she answered, she told me she was fed up with her 4 year old computer and wanted me to go shopping with her to get a new one. She then said that since she was getting a new computer, I could get a new internet connection! She said, though, that she does not want to pay 20 more bucks a month to have AOL Broadband or whatever it is (which totals to $50), so I have decided (since I use the internet 30x more than anyone in the house), that we will get rid of AOL to get something cheaper and faster.

For a while, I have been seeing those James Earl Jones Verizon DSL commericals that come with MSN premium and wonder if anyone knows the price of that or if MSN is any good. Also, what is faster - DSL or Cable?

If anyone else has any suggestions on a good internet provider with a fast connection, please post. I have to convince my mom to go along with whatever the majority says is the best. [or you guys have to, actually ]
