I'm going to be getting rid of Cable and switching to DSL. Currently there are two different versions$15 and $30. I"m on a limited budget. Is the $15 fast enough to not have lag problems? I don't want lag. I want your opinions. My real question is, Can I get by with the cheaper. My phone lines are in good condition and underground. Don't know if that matters or not. THANKS!!!

$15 is 768 Kbps / 128 Kbps

$30 is 1.5 Mbps / 384 Kbps

Honestly.... Neither is really likely to prevent lag. If you can afford it, you should stick with cable.

1.5Mb is faster

If you could afford cable stick with it unless your last resort is DSL

Get the 1.5, that's what I have

Mind you, 1.5Mb is not MB, so you don't download a 10MB file or 100MB file in 10/100 seconds respectively

1.5Megabits is 155Kilobytes, 8 bits are in a byte, so you will take about 7-8 seconds to download a 1MB file
