Mark hit it right on the head. Our ping times were in the 1000s! It was great for downloading mp3s and crap because of the accelator program but websites frequently timed out and checking the list mail became a 3hr chore of battling with the website. Plus, it was way over priced. I've had cable, DSL, satellite and dial-up and DSL is the way to go if possible. More and more places are getting high speed lines, so have hope folks!
