Re: dsl vs.cable said by Kompressor:Get both and run a speed test and see what you're really getting. If cable says you're getting 3mbps, chances are you're getting 3mbps. But half of the DSL costumers will be lucky to get half that speed, but you'll still have to pay full price... Not my experience with Comcast. I was sold 6 MB down, and was only getting about 3MB down. And yes, I checked the signal strength on my cable modem, and the config files, and all that stuff. No matter what I did, I couldn't get more than 3 MB down.
So, I gave DSL a shot. It's a few bucks cheaper. I'm very happy with my Verizon DSL. I'm getting the speeds they promised for a cheaper price that Comcast, and unlike Comcast, it's actually usable on a Sunday morning. Any time I would try and use my Comcast HSI on a Sunday morning, it would crawl along at sub dial up speeds.
Cable would have to do some heavy handed shrewed marketing to me to get me to come back... |
