There really is no comparison comparing Dial-Up and High Speed for Internet access. Dial-Up in the next year or two will not exist.

OK. So I need high speed. Do I get Verizon DSL or Comcast High Speed for my connection to the Internet. The debate is more or less about speed vs. money at the time of this writing. Comcast Standard Business services are about $20-$35 more than Verizon's basic business plan. Both services can have their speeds increased. Comcast only offers one bump up in services and nearly doubles the cost while Verizon offers multiple tiers of speed at a smaller cost increase per bump.

There are also other providers of Internet in the New Bedford - Fall River area. Pipeline Wireless offers a wireless solution to customers once they have a receiver dish installed at their location. The drawback there is obviously inclement weather and the fact that you need a line of site to one of Pipeline's towers. Other providers of high speed resell Verizon's line at a discounted rate. While this might seem like a better deal then what Verizon has to offer you have to remember that by buying from a reseller you put another person into the mix when it comes to problems. If your Internet feed stops working even though Verizon is the owner of the line you have to call your reseller to report the problem and then they in turn need to work with Verizon at resolving the issue. By buying directly from Verizon you eliminate the reseller but pay more.
