If you like DSL, try cable modem. It is even faster
Not if you are cursed with COMCAST! When I'm lucky I get 115kps but usually I am around 56k and usually less (this morning I am connected at a "BLAZING" 9.9k!!! (I use a utility called 'AnalogX Netstat Live' to measure). I have had numerous occasions of no connection to the net. I have reconfigured and tried different IP addresses; I have wasted three hours on hold and talking to their "tech support" drones, no avail. I so regret changing my Email addresses, now it's a lot of work to change back.

If you are considering Comcast, measure your connection speed for TWO months before changing your Emails. (my first month was 275k on average, then the speed d r o p p e d off the scale).

In a nutshell, COMCAST SUCKS!

thanks I feel better now!
