Basically, the equivalent of about four phone lines running in parallel at with 56k analog modems. For $30/mo. I don't pay any other fees. For normal e-mail, only one 64k channel is used. On downloads or large www images, both channels connect. My computer and network at home is up and online all of the time. 24 hours a day. I don't pay an timed connect rate.
