I'm currently subscribed to Comcast, as much as I love their service and speed, I can't keep affording it.

DSL is not available in my area, and wireless DSL is just as expensive as Comcast, are there any other viable alternatives around $30? TIA.

I live in Lake Villa, IL.

It would be really hard to create a brand new internet just for you. Try to make due with this one.

:p

I would pay good money to have a new internet that was not contaminated with AOL.

Any possibility of other packages? My charter package is up in March but due to my current unemployment I'll be going to charter and making changes. With cable they quoted me $25 for 1000/256. Not too shabby.

Definitely new. Be sure to get a PSP on it if you buy one at Bestbuy.

If you guys don't want your internet, consider donating it. There are almost 5 billion people denied the opportunity to post on AT and brag about their pr0n folder.

I'll see if comcast allows that, thanks.

As far as I know, you can't get a cheaper package -- $43 is the base package.

Keep praying SBC gets DSL there soon, Their $26 plan is pretty decent, 1.5Mbps for $26.
