I saw this message board and just had to post my 2 cents. I know most people look at the bottom line cost of broadband internet when deciding the cost versus the benefits of Internet service.

My recommendations of places to go once one has broadband? The first place anyone should check out is a good broadband phone service. The reasoning behind this being, the lower phone rates offset the rise in Internet service, essentially paying for itself.

After that the possibilities are endless. Downloading movies instead of going to the rental store also puts your broadband connection to work, (the legal way of course). You'll save gas, time and it is usually just cheaper.

I read an article where Microsoft, in partnership with Time Warner Cable, is working on an Internet TV service called IP TV, and is due to launch in 2006. With computers having the capability of using an LCD TV screen as a monitor, or stream media to the TV, one can imagine the financial benefits of this technology.

The benefits of high speed Internet far outweigh the cost. The list is too long to post here. In closing, let me just say the next time you are looking for somewhere to go or something to do with your broadband connection, try looking for ways to put it to work.
