It's the market; cable (Comcast) is $45/month here in western Connecticut, plus $5/mo. to rent a modem. It's $5 less if I get cable TV, but then I'd have to give up my Dish Network & pay way more for the TV service. I got DSL for the same price, better after discount ($50 - $5 discount per month for switching my phone service), plus a better promo (free modem, $10/mo off for the first 6 months) and after seeing complaints about Comcast am happy with my choice - I can always change in a year if they get their act together.

I saw on Dealmac.com that Best Buy is again running their $30 special - well, $80 minus $50 in rebates - on the D-Link DI-704 & 704P, through this week. I got it last time they ran a special and it works great. We needed it to network 2 computers, get the @#!%#@$! PPPoE software off my OS 8.6 machine, and give my husband access to his work network through Virtual Private Network - and it gives us firewall protection. At this price, I'd definitely get a router for any one of those reasons!! The 704P is available online; I don't see the 704 there. They're basically the same except the 704P has a parallel printer port for network printing, but requires Windows drivers. http://dealmac.com/articles/32198.html Anne -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
