yeah, i have had both DSL and Cable. locally the cable service has jumped in quality, but you cannot go wrong either way. Our DSL is 1.5 MBps, Cable 9 MBps and claiming to be going up again really soon. Anything over 1 MB is fast enough for most anything you are doing unless you want to download music, movies, files and surf the net at breakneck speeds at the same time, or are running multiple computers on the same line.

Just a side note, wireless WANs are capable of up to 54 MBps (some faster with speed plus technology or whatever it is called) ... and most of our computers ethernet are 10MB/100MB with the newest ones being 1000MB (1GB/sec) capable. Just shows you what they have in store for us. If I would have thought of it I would have networked my computers before getting rid of the old one to transfer files instead of saving to CDs and DVDs.

I know you are going to LOVE you new connection speed. You will wonder how you kept your sanity with a dial-up connection. I will not bother with going online if that is all that is availible to me. Call me spoiled if you like. I get impatient when it takes more than a second or two for a intensive page to load up, or even a video. The companies need to upgrade thier servers!!! hehe
