Yea well actually 45, but i got cable. Faster than dsl. Not to mention more expensive.
Not to start a argument, but the cable being faster than DSL thing is not always true, you can purchase higher end DSL for about $50.00 a month and get guranteed uploads of over 300K and guranteed downloads of 1.5mbs (same speed as a t1). Cable speeds can and will vary depending on the time of day you are on, and hom many people in the neighbor are using the same cable provider as you. Btw, the company will tell you that you get a dedicated line, but the truth of the technology is that you don't, they cannot Guarentee speeds. In general you are right though, cable will be slightly faster than "basic" dsl, but nothing you would really notice in a side by side comparison.
