OK I am fed up with shitty dialup. I have both options available for about the same money. But I want to do away with my landline as I have no more use for it.
My figures Cable internet 58/month w/o paying for cable TV Cell phone 40/month normal monthly plan DSL 43/month (same speed as cable offering) could go slower Land line 26/month call phone 35-40/month prepaid Dial Up 23/month Land line 26/month Cell phone 35-50/mon No I don't pay for cable now, but that may change if I have to, to get cable internet. Then the price goes up 40$. If I have to do that then it is cheaper for me to get the DSL and pay for the extra line. Which is the best approach? |

DSL here and I love it, and dsl don't share bandwidth, cable does. My download speed is 1024 dwn, upload is 934 and it stays that way. I've hosted 16 pilots online connected to me without any problems and flying missions also. I've seen guys connected to cable on a friday night and their bandwith drops to crap. They have to share bandwidth with their neighbors. No complaints about dsl. I've had dsl for almost 4 yrs now.
