I have always had cable - but the last time I moved - the cable company could not commit to a date for 3 weeks after my move date - so I tried DSL. They told me that the recently upgraded all of their lines, their servers etc. . They overnighted me the modem and I was up in running in less than a day. The speed was there, however, it interfered with my access to work. I could not access some of my customer's intranet sites - and firewalls kept kicking me out. There might have been some settings I could have changed - but each customer is different - and I couldn't be bothered.

I wish it could have worked. . Comcast is the most frustrating company to deal with.

There are different packages with DSL - obviously the more expensive the package - the faster the speed. You might want to talk with them about their speed vs. cable - and if you can try it for a month. I was able to get my money back on the modem when I told them I could not access work.

From what I've heard, *I* wouldn't even recommend it.

I've had Comcast Cable for years and it was pretty good. Several times I've lost the connection, and the price was fairly high.. but speed was good.

Now have Qwest DSL, and haven't lost connection once in 4 1/2 months. The speed is the same for me, and the price is about $15 less when bundled with our cell phones and home phone.

I had my fill of dial up and my only other option was satellite, I've had it for a week, the speed test shows it 10 times faster than my dial up was but sometimes it seems just as slow. Not sure if I like it or not. Maybe it's my 4 year old computer and not the DWAY thats's slow.

I have DSL at work and love it, compared to the dailup I had at home.

We switched from DSL to Cable... Cable is soooooooo much better (faster, never loses the connection), I would really advise against switching to DSL from Cable.

It really depends on the company you use, and the area of the country you are in. They're all different.
