Rtev, you are correct, the economics vary regionally. Cable solution for small business and home is less expensive than DSL in midwest.

I'm curious, test the speed of your DSL connection @http://computingcentral.msn.com/topics/bandwidth/speedtest50.asp let me know what you find.YZ

One example: I use a DSL ISP that lets me hook multiple computers to my line by using nothing more than a cheap hub.
-Ain't it great! Works well when you have roommates and they all split the cost.
