Looking for information on the merits/disadvantages of ADSL versus cable modem connection. Caution: Opinion from an amateur ADSL:Under optimum conditions-Slower speeds download and especially upload...trickier install, still some bugs.....more expensive....have to be close to phone hub to work (approximately 2-3 miles)...runs on top of regular phone lines...reliability of phone service is greater than cable Cable: Faster speeds under optimum conditions...when your "loop" has a lot of traffic, speeds sometimes slower than 56K dialup modem.....generally cheaper....when your cable connection goes down (not infrequently in my area)you are toast JMHO TheÇow
