Thanks.

I download music mostly...song on itunes takes about a minute at the most. I haven't streamed any full-length movies yet.

My connection is a 768 Kbps. The highest, which is 6 Mbps is less than $10 more/month...I am cheap. Right now I could get 6 Mbps services for $24.95/month for the first year if I was a new customer. There aren't a bunch of taxes on it like you get with cell/cable services. The price they say it is a month is the price you pay. AT&T has discount for the first year and then jacks it up after the year about $5-10/month. Still MUCH cheaper than internet through the cable company here and much more reliable.

Now, AT&T is the local landline phone service here, so I don't know if that is why we have this service. If your landline phone provider is Verizon they have similar dry DSL.
