I had been a fan of DSL years ago during the early rollout of high speed access.
However DSL is distance limited so without investment in remote terminals to reduce wire length typical phone loops are limited to a few megabits per second at best.
The holy grail is fiber to the premise (FTTP) but that will be a long time coming for most of us. I'm stuck at 3Mbp/s ADSL. Service is stable but it does limit how we can use our access.
Stuck with 1.3 Mbps DSL here because of cost. Cable is too expensive to justify its monthly rate.
I retrenched to DSL for financial reasons and could only get a 900/200kbps connection. It was good for surfing the net but that's about it; any kind of video either kept buffering or wouldn't even download. After a year I went back to cable and got a one year deal for $29.95/mo instead of $45/mo. You might want to check with them and see if you can get a deal. -- Patriotism is not waving a flag, it is living the ideals
I want to retire to the Isle of Sodor and ride the trains.
