"One graphics-heavy Web page that took over 4 minutes to download by 56-kbps dial-up popped up through @Home in under 5 seconds. More typically (but still impressively), cable modems sped up surfing and file transfers by 250 to 1000 percent"

"We tested DSL from Pacific Bell and DNAI, both in Northern California. (DNAI is an ISP that bundles Net access with Covad's DSL connection.) Each line offers rates of up to 1.5 mbps downstream and 384 kbps upstream. And both performed impressively in most of our tests, achieving speeds comparable to those of cable modems--from 300 to 1000 percent faster than a 56-kbps dial-up connection"
