If you are looking to get into high speed internet, a great company to consider is Qwest DSL.  It has great speeds available at 1.5, 7, and 20 Mbps for a smaller monthly fee than any other major provider.  If you are upgrading from dialup, you’ll be pleasantly surprised to learn that you will no longer interfere with your telephone connection.  DSL utilizes your existing phone line, but delivers web access on a different frequency.  Finally, talk and work on the internet at the same time.  Qwest currently is offering a free modem and WiFi with their online promotions, and their 1.5 Mbps speed is only $14.99 a month.  There are no hidden fees with Qwest — what you see is what you get.
