Hi brickboo, DSL will be faster than dial-up. Cable or Broadband , well be even faster. I used to have just dial-up , and selling on eBay and up-loading pic`s was a pain , but like you , my old iMac was not able to handle broadband speed. I bought a new Mac , and now have broadband service . and it screams as far as speed. I had to down load a 350 + MB download and thought it would take a few hours , instead it was a few minutes !! However , they are charging way to much for the service , I know I`m cheap !! But hey , all your doing is tapping into a server , I mean you are not really seeing anything tangible , it is just a service. I would find it very hard to go back to dial up !! Good luck ! Gary

Yes , good DSL is fine , if you can get it !! In my area , good service for just about anything is like trying to find a good arranger keyboard !! LOL Y`a for the past 6 months i have had a 19.99 deal , but that is ending next week We might be getting Verizon at some point for DSL and TV , that might be better than Comcast. I still think that you pay too much no matter what you get ! Don`t have a clear view to the southern sky , so Dish is out , and I don`t think I would want it any way , O__well ! Later , Gary
