<p>And how much is that? DSL is available in many areas of the country for less than dial-up. That’s right, LESS. That’s because the telcos are trying to wean people off dial-up as dial-up actually costs the telcos MORE (because a modem call ties up on an entire voice line, whereas DSL uses spare data capacity). Even if you can’t find such a deal, you can probably still get DSL for less than $40 a month.</p>
