My husband has the DSL High speed on his computer. He was using 2000 and recently his system got corrupted. As a result I installed XP and would like to know what number do I call so I can reinstall the software, etc. on the new system.

Hi Sheri, there are many DSL internet service providers, which is your husband using? Take a look at his local phone bill to see if it’s AT&T, Verizon, etc and call the Customer Service or Technical Support numbers given on the monthly bill. If he still has his purchase receipt there should be numbers to call on that as well.

If you know the internet service provider’s website you can look for “Help” or “Support” and also login to his account online to check email and billing from any computer with internet access.
