I have optimum on line which in New York State is cablevision. My husband and I both have it and we love it. It is also our phone service and, after figuring a regular phone line and the price of separate internet service it worked out to be cheaper. If you already have cable in your house you wouldn't have to pay to bring the service into the house, it is already there. Cable is easy to work with and you can toggle between the net, email and whatever other program you are using. In short, I think the service is great, very compatible with jaws and cost effective.

Hi list, I have a few questions about the aforementioned services. (DSL or a cable modem) Which would you recommend for use with JAWS or does it make a difference? I am getting pretty tired of this 56-K modem. However, I want something that will work pretty efficiently with JAWS and won't put too much stress on my computer. I am thinking about signing up with Bellsouth. They have been advertising their $24.95 per month deal for DSL service. Is this pretty reasonable? Also, are the modems pretty easy to set up if I want to do it myself? What about a cable modem? my household is currently signed up with Time Warner, which is now owned by Comcast I believe. What I want to know is the advantages and disadvantages of each service. I will list my system properties for my laptop below. I also have a docking station. System Properties Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition Version 2002 Service Pack 2 Manufactured and supported by: HP Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.20GHz 3.19 GHz, 1.00 GB of RAM Thanks and I hope to hear from you all soon! Happy New Year!
