it depends on your location (east or west). I have verizon dsl for $ 14.95, and it works great. You can't beat the price -- better than some of the dial up price out there. Verizon had this deal with yahoo when I got the package. Check them out if the service is available in your area, and the package options that you have. I'm loving the price and service in my location. Ofcourse you hear different opinions, but definitely worth trying.
