What is your favorite isp

I was thinking cable myself.. Do I need a firewall or a router... or both??

you can use both if you want, but in essence, a router is a physical
firewall. It can get tricky if you try to use both. A good router and
antivirus program is probably all you'll need.

Thats what I was thinking.. Im not sure if I can get the cable that I wanted because thats like 50 dollars a month and I dont have a job..yet.. so Ill probably have to wait awhile cuz I only pay 31 dollars for my AOL Broadband....
