broadband isn't expensive if your already paying for a 2nd phone line.

Expensive....Maybe a little....We had Dish Network for a while and we were paying 78 bucks for the package , which included movie channels...HBO...etc.....AND I was paying 20.95 for my AOL....shudder the thought.... :) Now we have cable with the same channels, without HBO. But we get our local channels, which we did not get with Dish and I have cable modem... for $99 plus tax of course......My download rates are usually 70k-150k depending on who, what, where I download from. Usually on Kazaa, depending on the source I get around 50-80k, which when I had modem, I was getting around 1-3k......I don't think I could ever go back.....hehe....So for me, it was a no-brainer.....But my buddy, who is paying 29.95 for cable tv and 8 bucks for internet....It would be a HUGE jump......As with anything it will be cheaper faster better cooler,,,etc,,,etc in the end

Later

Well i pay $9.95 for Netzero internet and dont have cable tv just Directv.

Directv did offer dsl but that service was recently discontinued.

When playing online with like Madden03 can 2 people play from the same ps2? for example me and buddy use the Steelers and play as teammates online against others. Is that possible or can only 1 person do the online thing? thanks

Well the cost of broadband differs where u live

is the Network Adapter scarce to come by? Walmart online and Bestbuy online have it for $39 and then those goons on ebay are selling them for at least $40 with around $10 shipping.

it was a little more then a month ago impossible to find, they were going for $60 on ebay. but you should have no problem finding one now

probably cheaper and easier to go buy one at walmart than try to find a deal on ebay.
