I was looking at this exact issue before -- if you look at the link that red sky provided, there is only $179.52 difference (over 25 years!) between making monthly payments and bi-weekly payments. Not a lot of interest savings.

Accelerated bi-weekly payments, however, are a different animal because you are actually making an additional payment over and above your regular payments...
