Index of Subjects Hi Leonard. This does bring up another advantage of Chebucto, the ability to write and get an answer from a real person. My understanding from looking at the Eastlink website is they claim the service is "five times faster than dialup" but they give no further information as to what exactly they mean by that. I have not seen this service first hand so cannot comment on how fast it is or isn't or if it has any other less obvious drawbacks. Being on an always on network connection is riskier than dialup for network based attacks and purchasing a router is the first advice I'd give anyone on an always on commercial network connection.
