My cable modem is many times faster than their similarly priced 256k DSL and less (much less) hassle to get set up. How so? Why less of a hassle? Do you mean that the order and installation process is better with TCI? I ask because I think I agree with you. Although it's a simple task to self-install the DSL router for US West and they even provide good instructions for self-installation, the USWest ordering system is very messed up. They lose orders. They connect lines in the CO to the wrong place causing one to lose everything (POTS and DSL)... Horror stories abound. It sounds from what you say that T has their act together on the order-fulfillment end of things. Those interested in seeing speed tests by users of various systems might find this page intriguing: dslreports.com There are usually a few .home.com users on the list, so it can provide a scattered and highly unscientific snapshot of speeds folks are getting from different providers.
