Re: Poor Babies
I've used dsl. I've been a subscriber and I've done tech support for other subscribers.
dsl SUCKS!
Could be bad service by the bells, but I've witnessed poor performance in at least three markets. My opinion is definitely "media-influenced" as in if your transmission media is a copper phone line and it's not a T1, then it sucks.
dsl makes me want to puke. |

| 100's of thousands of people can come here and make a stupid broad statement as you have for either service.
I have had DSL for a few years now and love it. I support people using both cable and DSL neither having any more or less issues then the other. When asked about broadband options I simply state you probably wont go wrong with either one so get the one that is cheaper and provides what you need. HOWEVER, DSL is generally cheaper for comparible speed.
Basically this will come down to the market and the company. Some markets will have great DSL and crap cable, where as others it may be the opposite way, and the remaining will have equal services where it won't matter which one you get. |

| I have both dsl and cable and I can honestly say"THEY BOTH SUCK" There 
Oh and my dsl (I have 2) are 6.0 down and my cable is 3.3 down (On a good day).
But then if it rains too hard my dsl like to go down. So I chose to keep 3 providers and two technologies. This way I do not lose money when one hits the crapper. And even a T1 can not provide this type of internet uptime, becuase you only get 1 back bone where I have access to 3. |
