Thread: Dish Network DSL Internet Service

For what I use the internet for - email, web surfing, DSL has been great! Our Mediacom for internet is $65 per month! DSL is $25. So, I can't justify $65, but $25 is more what I am after.

Yes, the "key" is how I use it. I download tons of pictures from the web, but don't care how fast uploads are. I don't like waiting for d-loads. My time & patience are limited and I can't even imagine having dial up ever again. I wish Comcast would come out with different basic cable packages like Dish. They're so rigid about the all or nothing packages with no top 60 for guys like me. Oh well.
