makes sense. The thing is that they are keeping their desktop pc active, they aren't trading a pc for a laptop, they want service on both. Also want to be able to travel around with the laptop and I guess that is where the montly fee comes in, but they were just wondering if their is a cheaper service than the 60 per month that their current ISP wants to charge. They have AT&T DSL right now and are paying about 25 bucks per month.
