DSL in Penn Yan
« on: March 04, 2003, 07:20:00 PM »
We are getting DSL (should be) in Penn Yan this month.

I need convincing arguments to get my parents to get it.  I can't stand the 28.8K connection that we usually get out here.  

They never surf the web and NEVER download so they have no idea how slow it really is.

Thanks
Peter

How's this:

"Mom...Dad, with this sloooow dialup connection, when I download stuff I have to tie up the phone for hours and hours....with DSL I don't tie up the phone and downloads are fast so I don't have to be online as much and will have more time for homework...or chores...or...

and I'm willing to pay $10 per month towards the additional cost.  OR I'm willing to spend an additional two hours a month doing farm related research.

Do not fear your enemies.  The worse they can do is kill you.  Do not fear friends.  At worst, they may betray you.
Fear those who do not care; they neither kill nor betray, but betrayal and murder exist because of their silent consent.

Thanks- I'll try them

Jennie- I already offered to pay for it completely on my own (about 10 hours a month)  They didn't buy it

this is going to be harder than I thought

Thanks again

Peter:  What are their objections to DSL?  Afeared you'll spend too much time on line?
