fyo, Our ADSL is a bit slower and if you use heavily then you pay a data transfer, whereas cable doesn't(unless you supremely abuse it). Do you pay data transfer after 5-6 GIG? It's funny the ADSL rates are all over the place from less than $20 to around 130 per month. I don't know how they calculate it , but it's pretty confusing keeping track of it all. Cable on the other hand has been basically the same price for the last 5 years. Re: always on service . I sure don't miss getting those busy signals and being arbitrarily disconnected by the old dial-up modem. :-) >>It's (almost) already available. Virtually everyone has a phone-line from their home to the local telephone switch. This phone-line is good for at least 2Mbps using modern ADSL technology. << Thanks for the tip on the inbox system, I thought I had switched off my filing of the posts. I'll try to jot the post #s down on paper so I can get back to others easier. I miss not having them there until I delete them. stak
