DSL...yeah,BABY!!
was contemplating going with DSL or cable modem. I went with DSL,and let me tell you,it is a night and day difference between DSL and dial up 
. was going to go cable,but I am never off work the hours the cable guy could be here,and I didn't want them in my house without me here. i have only had it on for about 24 hours,but so far I am very impressed!!! no more waiting on pages to load, and i just downloaded a 4 minute video in less than 2 minutes 
that never would have happened with dial up.

I went from dial up to DSL when we live out in the sticks and was impressed then when we moved in town I had to go to dial up for a couple weeks until my cable could get hooked up and I thought I would cry waiting for the simplest things to load... Now that I have cable WOOO HOOOO I am happy

I have cable myself and it's great. DSL is not offered where I live because I'm too far out. Love my cable connection!

I went from 56k to 640k DSL a few years ago and I know the feeling. Problem is, 640k now seems slow!! I'm going to switch to cable here very shortly, downloading a file at 60kbps isn't cutting it anymore when my friends are getting 1-2MB downloads!

Cable here, with a 4MBit/ps download speed. Comcast just raised it from 3meg.
Will never go back to anything slower than 1meg. Guess I won't be retiring to the cabin until highspeed gets there, and I win the lottery
Next on the list of computer toys you'll need to get is a color laser printer. Just plunked one down on the desk yesterday. You want to talk about speed increase. Used to take 3 minutes to print a high res full color page on the inkjet, now it takes about 15 seconds.

Cable here.
Screaming fast!!!!!!!!
Download speeds faster than a speeding bullet. Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. More powerful than a locomotive. . .
Wait a minute. Yeah, that's about right.
