How can i convince my mom to get DSL..?

We have Dial up which is really slow and expensive, We are paying 40 bucks a month for it when we could get DSL and only pay 20. Got any good ways i could convince my mom to get DSL. It would be so much nicer and so much cheaper. I have showed her the prices of the internet and she says she’s going to get DSL but its been months upon months. I need some ways to maybe motivate her. Thanks.

Why is DSL getting so much cheaper than dial up?

We still have dialup and im trying to convince my mom we should get DSL because we would be saving 20 bucks a month if we do. I looked it up on our internet provider site. Why is DSL getting so much cheaper?

Cable ISP and Dial-up?

I have high-speed, wireless service thru time warner cable at home. I need cheap access to the internet while visting my mom. Is a dial up account an option? That is, can I have two isps on 1 computer?

What’s a good cheap laptop alternative?

I’m looking for a good cheap alternative to a laptop for my mom – she would only use it for web surfing/email and her provider is Juno dialup (yeah, I know…) Seems ridiculous to pay $500 for the low-end dell when even that has way more power than she needs. Such a device must have a large (>12″) screen and must have dialup capability. Would prefer not to buy anything used.

earthlink or netzero for dialup??

not sure which to go with for my mom in law..out in sticks, only dialup is avail…which is best, she has both startup disks from walmart…anyone which is better????
