It's opposite here. DSL is horrid and expensive and going nowhere....course
DSL being such old tech has nowhere to go. Cable is rock solid and
inexpensive, 70 bux for 2 up 18mbit down and we regularly see 25mbit+, my
DSL costs 28 and I get 1.1mbit. Qwest corp. has told me they have zero
plans on upgrading anywhere here in Arizona, so everyone is stuck with DSL,
which even if you are sitting on the dslam is much slower then cable. My
only hope where I live is some form of wimax coming in, I feel waves of
depression when I consider I might be stuck with DSL for the duration. I
had faster speeds six years ago.
