Just got "upgraded" to SBC "faster" DSL and found little difference. Maybe it's my old computer. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)

One small problem with the poll, as asked--I've never tried cable modem.  My attorney and I both don't have cable, though, so DSL was pretty much the only reasonable $$ option.

Dave,

Comcast just dropped off a Cable modem for a free 30 day trial. I wasn't sure of the differences because obviously each ISP will say they are better.

DSL is cheaper but saving time "should" save money.

Just tested DSL download: 651 kilobits per second
