I pay about USD50 per month with a data cap of 1GB per month. Still, this is far better and cheaper than the dialup connection I have had before. The so-called digital divide isn't all that much about technology, computers or other gadgets.; It's about knowledge and, mainly, bandwidth and its costs. I still have customers that run a 100 workstations business on a 128Kb line, paying more than USD1000 per month for it. Alright, we are straying far from the topic here. Good luck to Dale!
