If NetZero high speed was the only available option other than Dial-Up, then I'd get it. If DSL and Cable were available, I'd get those instead. The cheapest DSL plan in my hometown is like $30 a month. You can download files at around 75 kilobytes per second with that option. I think the NetZero high speed is about 25 kilobytes per second. The best DSL around my hometown allows 150 kilobyte per second downloads. My mom's hometown (nearby) has Cable, which usually goes from 300-500 kilobytes per second.

In other words, the worst DSL plan is $15 extra than NetZero High Speed, but three times as fast.
