anybody have DSL?

Hahah just tested the DS3.....My download was 37.1 / upload was 29.2.

I'll have to test my cable whenever I come home (house sitting tonight for my fiancee.) The last time I check, I was getting pretty much all of the 4mb download.

matty, here is the list of DSL packages that Verizon offers:

Says you can get one month free, next 2 months at 19.95, then rest of year for 29.95 for 3MB up/768k down. Comcast is up to 8MB up/384-768 down.

The biggest thing to remember is that the more people on your block with High Speed Internet from Comcast, the more displaced the signal can become. However, with DSL, it's a dedicated line just for you.

I would go with Verizon or DSL in general for a few months. If you don't like it, you can always switch back to Cable.

Matty - on another note, if you are getting DirecTV, go to this link:

They may be able to get you a decent deal on DSL.

Wow, comcast is up to 8MB DL? We're supposed to be getting Comcast (since they bought out Adelphia in our area.) I would love to see that!

I think cable will run me $45/month for internet alone, with cable TV it's $40, I guess I'll just suck it up and stick with cable. I download a lot of music so I guess it's worth it to stick with cable. Thanks guys.

Yeah, if you're seriously into downloading files, it's probably best to stick with cable...it also sounds like you pay less for cable internet than what I do (mine would be like $56 a month for internet only.) Even with a dedicated line for DSL, it comes down to speed - and DSL just doesn't match standard basic cable broadband packages.
