35. How fast can you text?

I'm slow, so text for very short messages, like a dozen words. Anything more than that, a phone call.

Have you checked around about landline prices? For the same price as the most popular internet company in town charges for just internet, I got the same speed internet plus a landline with unlimited long distance and caller ID. I love the landline, won't give it up until I have no choice.
