Recently having had to get a different ISP makes me appreciate Earthlink all the more. With my 7600 based machine and a BestData external modem and Earthlink's modem driver I was consistently connected at 57,667 . Now where there is no Earthlink local dialup i am sometimes connected at 33,334, 43,333, 45,667 or if very lucky 46,667. Continued redialing is often necessary to get the upper range.
So if possible I recommend Earthlink and their modem driver. DSL may off plenty of incentives to get you in the door but down the line your rate will be fifty or more dollars a month.
