She is big time supervised on the internet and doesn't have access to her own passwords.  Her computer is in her room. Scary I know, but with her music and school work, one computer wasn't working for us. 
Sorry to hyjack RW.  I hope you can get DSL. I had dial up until we moved here. The phone wiring in my house wouldn't support DSL.  |
No problem, Oh Monkeyed One!
Those would have been my next questions. The DSL I am being offered says that they supply the box, but I don't want their box either because if they don't get it back in time when you dump them you get charged for the box or if you don't keep the service for a certain amount of time they charge you for the box.
If I do go with the DSL, I want my own box, I want my own router, I don't want them to come here to hook it up, I don't want them near my house! Every time they come here they mess things up worse than they were before I called them! It took me six months for them to believe that their phone wire from 1960 was responsible for my slow connection and crackling calls! They came and replaced it and I ended up not having a phone connection for two weeks! Of course I couldn't CALL them to tell them and when they tried to CALL me BACK, they couldn't understand why I didn't get the message! AAARGH!
All I want is a faster connection, no phone service from them, a wireless router so I can unplug and move around the house with the laptop, and no fancy bait and switch stuff!!!
And isn't DSL high speed too? As I understand it you can get differing options of speed?
