Solve : dIal up & high speed?

1.	Solve : dIal up & high speed?
Answer» I'm GOING to call various internet service providers about ditching dial up for high speed. I need to know what questions to ask ( so as not too sound too dumb )! My pc is just for home USE, no BUSINESS involved unless I do some selling on E Bay. I hope to get a service I like right away, so as not to have to disconnect & try another--kinda costly. Hope you can help.. Depends on which part of the world you live in! What TYPE of technology is utilized? (DSL / Cable / Satellite ) Amount of downstream (ingress) and upstream (egress) speeds are offered? (10mbps over 1024kbps) Equipment rental/purchase needs? (modem/router) What type of handoff is provided? (copper ethernet 10/100 RJ45 or USB) Connection Type (Authenticated PPP/oE or Continual Lease/DHCP ) Contract Term Lengths? Monthly Fee?Thanks Wyatt !
