Ärende: Re: AT&T says they can't provide DSL?!?!?
=================================================
From: "Glenn Meadows" <gmeadow@comcast.net>

Not a problem, there are a bunch of ins and outs with DSL, which for me, made
the cable choice more logical.  When I moved in with Shelley, all she had was
Dialup NetZero, which using Dialup to do remote network admin, and all that I
needed to do, was not going to work.  She only had the bare-bones cable
installed, 12.95/month.  So, she said as long as I paid for the cable going
forward, she was fine with adding cable internet.  Went to CompUSA, bought my
own modem, added a splitter or two, got it hooked up, added a wireless router,
never looked back.

One of the staffers here had Bell South DSL at their house, their "Lite"
package (minimal speed), and it's just pokey, as far as I'm concerned. Seems
like it always has to do an initial connect/login if you've not had any network
traffic in some period of time.  Once you've hit an initial website, it's just
OK, but that first webpage sometimes take 10-20 seconds to load.

I guess it's a cost balance with your needs, vs. what is available at the
various price points.

Different strokes...
