DSL speeds are directly proportional on how far you live from the CO
(central office). The farther, the slower. Do some research before you
buy. It may be you are so far from the CO you will get speeds no faster
than your current dial-up speeds, yet pay much more for them. The DSL ISP's
charge the same no matter the speed. You can learn everything you need
to know he

If you still have some questions, I'll try and answer them.
