Default Cable or DSL ??? - 01-14-2003, 10:08 AM

Which one do you guys have ?I got ATT Bradband and it sucks once I was without service for 2weeks.Sometimes I have to unplug my modem then plug back to work.
I've got a good deal from Verizon,I just don't know how good that will be against cable.

I've got Comcast High-Speed Internet. 1.5MB/s download and slow as hell upload. It's been rock solid 99% of the time. It'll run ya about $45/month. Worth the cash IMO.

I've had both (Rogers Cable & Bell Sympatico High Speed) and I haven't noticed much difference in either.

With both, I ping around 50-60 on MOH servers.

If it's available in your area, get Speakeasy.net aDSL.

They offer different speed packages. For example, their 1.5mb/768kb package. That's enough bandwidth to host a small web server and still ping nice and low in games =P
