We are dropping our home phone service in favor of DSL which will cost about $40 per month and we have three computers hooked up to a wired router. The DSL will be wired as well.

With dial-up, we can only use one computer at a time, but I don’t know how it works with DSL or home cable. My library has about 20 computers hooked up to a special kind of cable.

Thanks for your help.

Just got high speed internet. Installer said to turn off computer at end of day but always leave surge protector on. The light from the modem blinks constantly and of course there’s the electricity. Is this really correct. You can’t turn off surge protector?
