OK, finally upgraded to DSL from dial up. Began with a 1.5MB package for only $20 more than dial up, (theu Embarq), and will upgrade if needed to 3MB, but we're perfectly happy for now for what we do online.
I'm a person who believes in good cables, whether hifi or PC stuff.Of course we're using the no name modem and ethernet cables that came in the box from the ISP.
Is getting some better, shielded cables with better build quality important? has anybody noticed a difference in this area after upgrading the cables?
also: is adding more RAM to the PC important to get the optimum speed?
(right now: i tested the download speed: it's 1.465 MBps, which is pretty close to the theoretical 1.5)
Thanks.
