Now I knew I had a slow connection but did not realise how slow.... some of you guys have super connections Currently I am using dodo.... they say $9.90 a month... but with the amount I use it every month I always pay $24 plus dial up connection... I guess I dial up around 70-100 times a month... so you could say $20 a month... total $44what else can I get for this price with a decent connection speed??any help appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
