Ditto, Eric, ditto!
Even on it's slowest day (around 128KB/sec) my Rogers is faster than any
dial-up! On a normal day (500-1200KB/sec) no contest, and I don't want to
even tell you about the good and REAL good days!
Best way I've found to check connection speed is the following link
http://www.borderlineups.com/paclive.htm
...it's a traffic camera at a border crossing way out in BC on an
independent network... click on the "live, normal size" and that's real-time
traffic you're seeing. The jerkier the traffic the slower your speed.

Open up the doohickie that you use to set your phone number (I haven't used
icky dial-up in nearly 5 years so I don't have to deal with that head ache
:) :) :) and tell it to log you off after whatever time period you desire
(or never... usually the ISP will kick you off after 4 hours of inactivity
regardless of your own setting).
If I had to choose between dial-up or one of the "faster" choices I would go
with the faster choice, every time. Even Symcrapico's low-speed edition is
markedly faster than dialup, and, usually comes with fewer headaches (I've
never had anything but headaches with dial-up)... for me Rogers worked
pretty much flawlessly & up-time was quite good on the whole (I can't stand
their corporate attitude towards customers but I've always found their tech
support capable of dealing with my problems... though, that hasn't been
everyone's experience with their techies ;).
L8r, Eric.
