Dailup comparatively worse. (Score 2, Informative)

Dialup is in essence more secure because of speed you can visit websites, and the lack of not being connected 24/7 which isn't a problem with broadband if you have your firewall on. But comparitively the crap you can get into on dialup is worse. For example you can get a virus or spyware dialer on your machine. One of these over the christmas holidays racked up $600 dollars for my mama and papi who no matter how hard you lock there system down still get into trouble. At least for broadband they shut down your connection for a month if something happens. That alone would get me thousands of miles away from ever buying dialup again.(but when you can never really switch back after :) ) Oh yeah and your alternatives to getting around the dialup charges in canada are that you pay the phone company to password your long distance. They did the first time this happened offered a blocking solution. But it didn't include the long distance.
