Re: Gives False Hope of a Faster Connection

Do I like DSL? Absolutely! I hate cable for the fact that it's a "shared bandwidth" medium; all it takes is one of my neighbours to be a w4r3z kiddie and my speeds are basically shot, since he'll be chewing up the pipe 24x7.
Why share with only your neighbors when with DSL you can share with your whole town?

The "neighborhood sharing" issue is old, tired and mostly marketing FUD. With EVERY technology sharing is a factor. It is just where and how you manage capacity

Precisely. And cable companies have a horrid track record of managing capacity.

There are precious few comments here or anywhere (if any at all) of anyone's speed being killed by the neighborhood warez kiddie on DSL. It is far too easy to do on cable, and no matter how much you want to deny it, it is an issue that DSL simply does not have.

Relativity. It is really hard to tell when the Internet is slowing down, when it starts that way.
