Pruguy,
I have @home on my cable and I can't keep count on how many times I've had to call because the signal drops completely or becomes intermittent at times (not good when you're using streaming real-time quotes). They've been out several times, replaced the modem (tried a new card, etc.). I've not heard of similar complaints from DSL users, so if it ever becomes available here, I'd be likely to switch. I can assure you I don't use @home for the content. Good trading!

Cable modem would slow down to less than the speed of 56K dialup. ADSL is the same no matter what, it seems, so I like it a lot more.
