2. One of our retired profs lives in East Lansing. They have been using
dialup, I finally recommended that they get broadband. Should I suggest
they get ACD ($20/mo for 6 months, then $50/mo) or SBC for $20/mo.  Or
something else - they do have cable tv, so a cable modem is an option.
I know ACD gives them an MSU IP, but I don't know how important that is
anymore (is it worth $180/year?).


I have Comcast's cable service, and minus the recent DNS cache
poisoning problem, the service has been very good.  It is both
reliable and reasonably priced.  When I signed up for it, it was
$20/month for the first 6 months, then I believe it goes to $47/month.
This is for 3Mb/s down, 256Kb/s up service.

I have had SBC Dsl for a few years and it is very good. 24.95 a month.
I have a gateway server in front of it and we run 3 diff computers and wireless off it.
Course it gets a little slow when we are all on .. I think Dougs network test reports it to be around
317 Kb down .. cant really say what the up speed is.
I stay connected all the time and have gone as much as 30 ~ 40 days with same ip address.
