DSL sucks!
If you can, try cable, and don't believe the negatives the DSL providers will give to you about cable, ie; less security, slower, blah blah blah..
I am using DSL 1.5Mb/sec and my connection speed is actually in the 160-366 kb/sec. No where near the 1.5 megabits they advertise.
My brother, only a block away, uses cable, and using the below service, he averages 1.5 - 2.0Mb/sec (megabits per second)
If DSL is your only choice, then go with it, however, if you have cable in your area, check it out first.

(don't use the ISP's speedtest service, it does not give you a real life connection speed test) |
