All depends on what you want to do....

Help me out here some, guys. That sounds great, but don't I still need something like Yahoo or Earthlink when I get the DSL? Currently, I have Compuserve. It's a little pricey, but the virus and spm filters are super. I have no spam and never get those eamils that are always warned about. I never get those emails about 10 million bucks tied up in a foreign account. For those reasons, I have played along with Compuserve. I haven't had to install a firewall (maybe I should) as all seems well with CS.
I'm not a computer guy like a lot of you. I'm self taught in the fundamentals. It's all I need. Just want to speed things up a bit.
Previously, I inquired here about the high speed dial ups and folks here explained that I wasn't gonna get muc more than I have rifht now, except for frequently visited sites.
I have no problem with the Pelican site. Seems to load fast unless there's several pics on a page. When I Google things and go to other sites, many don't want to load or take forever. And I've never seen any of the video clips that some have posted like track footage. Part of that is my machine. As I said, I'm moving up on the hardware side and I should be able to download that stuff. But I sure don't want to do that on a dial up.
Back to my question (I tend to ramble), I still need an ISP with Verizon DSL, correct?
