    Why would you want satelite internet when your in San Jose Cali? Im sure you can get cable or DSL in San Jose. Satelite is about 3 times the price and not nearly as fast as cable or dsl. My cable internet runs around 2000kbps.

            ya that i can understand. but i called comcast thoes fuckers want 61 dollars a month and say its 6 times(i think) faster than DSL what ever that means. i pay 30 bucks for my phone line and 20 something for MSN so for 10 bucks more i can get high speed.

              I don't know about in Cali, but in Tampa, the cable companies are doing eals where if you get your cable, and internet together, you get a deal. I pay 40 bucks a month for cable, and I am almost positive it is faster than dsl.

                If your gona do Cable (Comcast) you need to put a whole package together to make it worth it. you put your internet, Cable TV(HDTV) and your Digital phone all together and you internet comes down in price, I can call all over the US and Canada all I want for the same price every month

                    Look into a new service called Verizon FIOS (don't know if this is offered in all areas). It is a fiberoptic DSL system that is much faster than Comcast cable. I recently switched to it and get close to 15MBps downloads and almost 2MBps uploads. It is also $10 cheaper per month than Comcast.

                      Damn, I feel like I'm geting ripped off. Everything is suppose to be cheaper here in the middle of no where. I pay 64.90 a month for cable (no movie channels) and cable internet. I rent the router but it's only 4.99 of that. From Cebridge. Unfortuantly I don't have other options.
