I've stayed out of these conversations because I don't have much of anything different to offer.

However, I have DSL, have had it since it's earliest days. From Verizon. At first, it was flakky with bad customer service; just the only game in time. In recent years, perhaps the last two, it's become extraordinarily reliable and customer service is about as good as it gets. They keep upping the speeds without increasing my price ($30 a month for the connection and $10 for the ISP).

And I'm told it's a dedicated line so that I don't have the cable problem of slow speeds in times of heavy demand.

As for broadband, the biggest difference for me was not the speed but the always-on capability. The internet becomes a part of one's computer, not something you have to phone up, worry about connection times, etc.

Then couple that with a wireless router and a laptop to wander around the house. Good heavens.
