For a cheap/stable connection, I would take it. The only thing that would be painful, would be downloading ISO images (Fedora Core).

Cable broadband here is 6x faster - for 5x the price.

I am very glad I switched to $10/month DSL.

Even gladder they have to sell it to me for that price through the end of 2009.

At $10/month, it's also a great backup for those with cable broadband (here cable drops if the wind blows hard)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18790102 Wed, 01 Aug 2007 13:58:21 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18789672 djrobx : For light users who are mostly web surfers and emailers, there's not a big difference in the "user experience" between 1.5mbps and 768kbps. I think a $10 768kbps DSL product would have a big appeal.

It's still relatively tough to find a site that takes advantage of connections faster than 768kbps. Most streaming video sites are STILL 300kps at best.

Hell, we have an office of about 70 computers sharing a 768/384 DSL connection, and I rarely ever hear anybody complain about it being slow. Usually when it is, it's only because someone's uploading a big attachment.
