With my company, we've had good success (and bad, two lines, to locations) with rio. Rio serves up the DSL. The last mile is owned by qwest (last mile from office to QWest's CO. At home, I have cable, and have been very pleased with it. They were able to come where DSL couldn't. (but it varies depending on the area). Try www.att.home.com $40/month. up to 3000kbit/sec they claim. I usually can get 150kbytes/sec downloading. This is a little less than full t-1 speed (~197kbytes/sec). With my experience with the two, I'd say DSL is FAST! But I quickly hit the top speed (32kbyte/sec). Cable is a little slower than DSL, but has a much higher top speed (for the money).

I am hosting a client's web page on my Linux server, but they don't have a dialup service right now. I might have them use Netzero or Juno, and they also have the free temporary AOL account. I'd like to give them DSL connectivity, but both their home and business numbers aren't serviced by Qwest (out of range). Who are the best isp's in town for paid dialup service? Is there anyone else I can go with for DSL speed, besides Qwest? And how do I check to see if they can get DSL through anyone other than Qwest? Thanks. James
