I want it all to myself..so now you're all wired for nothing huh?------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dzadza Posted April 20 Report Share Posted April 20 I am VERY, VERY happy with my cable. I have been CONSISTENLY getting 150 KBytes/sec downlad and 40 KBytes/sec upload speeds. I'd like to see a DSL beat this. ------------------A man who has attained complete mastery of an art reveals his presence of mind in every action.

I only get about 80kBps (640kbps) down and about 11kBps (90kbps) up but that's what I will always have, regardless of how many people on my block decide to have DSL service. Your bandwidth, on the other hand, will change when more people in your neighborhood get cable service. You'll be sharing your bandwidth with them.------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckayser Posted April 21 Report Share Posted April 21 How is the Riccochet? I was gonna try to talk Worldcom into letting me demo it but the coverage area isnt great on the island. I would use it on the train on the days I can't sleep. AnywaysDSL vs Cable. I use both. DSL @ work and cable at home. They are both very good services. When I need to download software updates at work i get a little annoyed because dsl is capped at whatever rate you hate. We have 784k SDSL so its gonna cap out at like 100KB/sec or so. Where as the cable will burst if the bandwith is available. ADSL is a different story though. the download speed is better then the up. 1 have a 1mbit upload cap on my cable (aprox 110KB/sec) where as dsl will have less. I find anything less then 784k for upload unacceptable which is why i would goto cable over dsl. LIke a previous post said. www.dslreports.com and you can see specifics for your area. it will break down what dsl providers are available for your CO (central office). good luck with whatever you do and even if verizon was available. STAY AWAY!! nothing but horror stories about their dsl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
