OK I am fed up with shitty dialup. I have both options available for about the same money. But I want to do away with my landline as I have no more use for it.

My figures
Cable internet 58/month w/o paying for cable TV
Cell phone 40/month normal monthly plan

DSL 43/month (same speed as cable offering) could go slower
Land line 26/month
call phone 35-40/month prepaid

Dial Up 23/month
Land line 26/month
Cell phone 35-50/mon

No I don't pay for cable now, but that may change if I have to, to get cable internet. Then the price goes up 40$.

If I have to do that then it is cheaper for me to get the DSL and pay for the extra line.

Which is the best approach?
