DSL? Indoor pools? (Dover, Portsmouth, Exeter: sales, how much, home)

[TootsieWootsie]

In the Seacoast area, am I going to have a problem getting high speed DSL for my computer? I am now in an area of about 400,000 people, and some areas have it and others do not. Is that true in NH?
The other question I have is: are there indoor pools you can join connected with work-out gyms around the Seacoast area? I swim about 3-4 times a week, and want to keep it up...no matter how bad I look in a suit right now (ha!).

As far as DSL if you are in the highly populated areas you should not have a problem. You need to be so many miles from the substation. DSL is weird because my dad's neighbor "qualifies" but my dad does not. However, depending on where you live, you should be able to get cable high-speed, Comcast or Metrocast. This is generally quicker than DSL.

That is what I figured about the dsl..heck, I want the higher speed stuff as I use the computer all the time.
What about pools to swim in indoors? I did look up Y's and found quite a few that seem to have pools indoor and gym facilities. Any ones that are particularly great???? And do you know their rates?

thanks tootsiewootsie for asking all these great questions. I'm interested in many of these questions as well!

[TootsieWootsie]

You are welcome, 30apples. I just wish someone would respond on the indoor pool thing. I refuse to give up my swimming...

Here you go Tootsie!
Rates? Some are listed, others want you to have a tour before they discuss rates...

When they say you have to take a tour first in Houston or Chicago..well, it meant usually bend over (if you get my drift $$$$$).
$500 a year in Exeter. If I am a resident in Portsmouth and a Sr. citizen (God bless, I am an old person now, baby!) it is $1 a day x 20 days x 12 months= $240 a year, which is what I am paying now in small town Illinois which is NOTHING!!!! Love those prices!!!!!!
Would anyone have a guesstimate of how much Cedarhill costs per year for swimming? Hmmm..regarding my quest, ValerieC, something tells me that me in a swimsuit now wouldn't hook many fish...ha!ha! Maybe I should stick to the cheaper ones, ya think?
