It's REALLY dependent on where you are, and who's providing the services. Here in US Pest land, DSL generally sucks, and cable is much better. In other locations it's just the opposite. (here in Tucson, only something like 60% of the homes qualify for DSL, something Qwestt doesn't mention in all their glowing ads about how good it is, and their inexpensive service is a) out half the time and b) limits you to a 2 hour connection time, and c) has a choke on download speeds.) -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
