I don't have to think about using the phone line. It's already there. If I was to hook up to the cable, (if I had cable in the house) I'd have to move the computer or trip over the cable.... I understand that in the video world way back when, beta was better but VHS won out because it was more available. No doubt cable is the superior technology, but the phone line is much more established. Now with DSL, won't the phone companies just out compete other broadband technologies? Comments? One way around this problem is to use the cable to get into the house and then use either a wireless or electrical-plug (Tut Systems) device to connect from there to the computer. I don't know how feasible, reliable, or expensive these solutions would be.
