I have ADSL too, but I never connect it unless I want something online. My setting connect automatically if I need to go online (although it does warn me) and it takes 2 seconds to connect.
Why woudl I want to start my connection as soon as windows boots?

This way you don't feel cheated when they say you'll be "always connected"... But I think that my dialer don't have the option to connect as soon as need to go online. Hm, I'll have to check this out...Originally posted by Rogan Josh

Not much competition. The only others I can think of don't offer free versions.
Although, if you're running Linux or one of the BSDs you've got a whole lot more choice.
--"Wasn't the ADSL connection suppose to be always on, meaning that I just have to turn the computer on to have access to the internet?"
Depends on how your network is set up and how your ISP is set up. Most of the DSL companies these days are using something called PPPoE. It's a royal pain in the ass, and it means your connection is not always on. You're just dialing in by another means. If you get a Cable/DSL router you can put the PPPoE settings in it, and then to your computer it'll look like it's always on.
Some DSL companies offer non PPPoE services that are truly always on. If you don't have a static IP address you can pretty much forget this, though.
Note also that if you are stuck using PPPoE, you should adjust your Windows settings to get the most out of your connection.

If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port
& the bus is interrupted as a very last resort
& the memory address makes your processes abort
then the socket packet pocket has an error to report!Comment
