Cable or DSL ?
 

I want to use one lifeline, so i want to take a poll from the board...
How are you connected : cable or a DSL ?

I have a great cable co here in town - a bit pricy, but great service and phone help (what few times I've needed them, very quick response and actual repair times) - I have heard some horror stories elsewhere (SC,CT)

I had SBC DSL but it required rebooting the router every 2-3 days. Became a pain. Moved to cable and happy since.

No other way but cable.......DSL is too finicky.

What is nice, too, is the competition from DSL in my area keeps the cable company on their toes. I went outside one day, and found the cable guy messing with some wiring in their box at the roadside. I jokingly said, "You increasing the speed of my cable?" He said, "Yes, I am." He then told me all about it. No increase in cost, either. It was all being done to counter the phone company's latest DSL push.

Got to love competition!

iop, I have Comcast cable and just downloaded a 21MB file at 1.51MB/sec. It is a bit pricey, $43/month for cable TV customers and I think $53 or something like that for non-customers. I have not had any problems with either the TV or internet service. It's been down maybe twice for about 2 hours each in the 3 or 4 years that I've had it.

I have had SBC DSL for about 4 years and they only charge me 21.99/month to keep me from going to cable. Never had a problem with it :thumbup:

Had DSL for years, had to switch to cable when the DSL reliability turned to sh*t.

ditto what all the other folks said. Cable is much faster and much more reliable especially in northern ca

I have Optimum Online, awarded the best and fastest cable in the country, 4.5mb/sec but Verizon is running fiber starting one town at a time will be interesting soon. Fiber is in the Gigga bytes for speed.
