Simply enter your information in the above form and pick the plan that's best for you. What's Better: Cable or DSL? DSL communicates to your local phone company through your regular phone line. DSL uses frequencies higher than those used for voice. This means that you can use your phone for voice and the Internet at the same time. Your DSL connection is "always on." Your DSL connection is "on" or available as long as your phone wires are connected. The speed of your connection is consistent. Cable connections to the Internet are often advertised to be faster than DSL. Cable connections run through a cable coming into your home. Your Internet traffic then runs through the cable strung through your neighborhood (along with everyone else's Internet traffic) back to the cable company. There the Internet traffic is routed to the Internet. If you live in a metropolitan area with a high density of cable Internet users it is possible that your connection rate will be degraded due to competition for "bandwidth" on the cable with other users. This contention for bandwith will vary during the day depending of how many users are on at any one time. So, what is better in your area, cable or DSL? Most people agree that way to answer that question is to ask people in your immediate neighborhood. Determine what service they are using and how they rate the quality of that service. There is no consistent answer for everyone. PIC, or Primary Interexchange Carrier These numbers identify the long distance carrier that transmits your call beyond your local calling area. These identifying numbers are four digits long and start with a zero. When you wish to use a long distance carrier other than your normal carrier you prefix the number with 101 and the carrier's PIC number. Hence all the ads for 1010-xxx where xxx is the last three digits of the long distance company's PIC code. When you change your long distance provider, it's your local phone company that actually makes the switch. In telecom lingo, they "PIC to 0xxx". That is, they switch to a long distance carrier identified by PIC code 0xxx. You can request that your local phone company not switch your long distance provide without your permission. This is known as a "PIC Freeze". When you wish to switch your long distance company you must call to have the PIC Freeze lifted or tell them to specifically "PIC to 0xxx", where "0xxx" is the PIC code of the long distance fiber provider used by your long distance service provider. Note that the PIC code that identifies your long distance fiber provider may not identify your long distance service provider. To understand why, please see Resellers and Excess Network Capacity
