High speed Internet connection question

sorry to stray from audio

wondering what are advantages/disadvantages to high speed cable internet service.

I do not have AT&T DSL available in my area and do not want to do use Uverse. Verison is not available to me. Direct TV would not work because I have trees in the way.

Someone mentioned wireless internet service (Sprint?) would this be better than cable?

thanks

Phil

thanks everyone for the thoughtful replys!

I am getting Charter cable internet for 29.95/mo the first year.

I am lacking in choices but this will be good.

thank you both

I have a friend who recomends wireless but I had the concern about the cell phone network.

You have answered my question I will go with cable.

does anyone know the best email to use with Charter? Should I just use what they offer or hook up my Outlook Express and use that instead?

thanks

thanks guys

I do not know how to use Outlook Express without going thru Charter (my ISP) They recommend setting up an email account at their website and then linking Outlook thru it.

I guess I am just trying to avoid using them at all but do not see an option

Al

thank you very much

I tend to post (haste) replys without really stopping and thinking about what I am trying to communicate to others, and take the blame for any wishy washyness...

speakeasy results with My Charter high speed internet is 4800 download and 1200 upload.

Also I was walked thru the email procedure and now use Outlook Express thru Charter.

Overall a good experience
