Exact same company, exact same speed..imagine that since we probably live in the single digit miles apart,

I love comcasts service, and speed

i hate dial-up (which I have) I would rather have dsl because I could download songs at one minute a piece instead of 20 minutes and leave my messengers on so my friends can leave me notes and all that. And the time is unlimited for internet usage.

Wait did I say I download songs? I don't I don't!

Have had Dial-Up (is that still around?) DSL for a few years before we moved, and Cable for the last 2 years.

Of the 3, I prefer the cable

Sounds like you've had problems with Qwest (AKA QwOrst) too. They offer DSL, but for the same money the performance isn't there. Then on top of that, you have to deal with em, and I've had more problems with a LL than I care to discuss. Given that, just imagine what it must be like when you need to talk to them about DSL problems
