Alright. My computer worked fine until I got DSL. After I got Comcast DSL, everything lags. Wouldn't you think that DSL would lag LESS than dial-up? And It's not just Online games, it's EVERYTHING. Can someone help me with this?

DSL will lag no matter what you do. It takes time (About 3-4 seconds) for the signal from your dish to get to the satillite, and beam back down to the DSL service building. So you will lag about 3 seconds no matter what. Your best bet would be to get cable, if you can. That will cut out the time it takes the signal to reach the satillite, and then beam back, reducing the lag to miliseconds.
