RE: Finally getting DSL at home!!!!
I have no DSL or cable option at my house. (Rural location!) I use a Sprint air card with a router that accepts the card. I run a desktop and two laptops off that set up and it works excellent! Best part is that I can take the air card with me for access pretty much anywhere!

RE: Finally getting DSL at home!!!!
Hayden,
Do you get cell phone coverage? If so I think you will probably get a better deal with a wireless card from your carrier. I would look into this before making the step to DSL. I am sure that DSL will be far better than what you may currently have.
I personally have comcast cable at home and a sprint wireless card in may laptop. I can take my laptop anywhere and get coverage. Just my .02
Good luck and glad to see you finally taking the step.
