First thing you chould do is can AOL. Then see if you can get broadband service in your area. After that, most DSL/Cable plans run anywhere from $40-60 for basic service. Basic meaning 1-4 static IPs or a DHCP allocated IP. Shoot for the static IP if you can. It gives you a live address on the net and will allow you to host a site and/or connect to your home computer from anywhere. Also, might look into a DSL/cable router if you want more than one computer to access the internet from your home. Good Luck.
