continued off topic/adsl and pair Yeah, I think you have to be near a city to get adsl, has something like a range of a few miles...but my understanding is that the telcos can move out into the suburbs pretty easily. If your in a smaller town or the country, adsl does not look too promising...but like I said before, I'm just now learning about all this. I suspect any problems you may have with speed is a function of traffic load, everybody bogs down whether you're on cable or the phone. The best I can do with my v.90 is in the wee hours of the morning when all the world's asleep;-) at 4am I get downloads that go above 56k...sometimes peaking around 70k/sec, not too shabby. I would not even attempt to do a download at 4pm est as the market closes and everybody with an internet acct checks their quotes! We should probably take any further discussion of adsl off the thread, maybe I'll see ya on the g.lite thread--where there is some real knowledge. I really don't know much at all yet. --MM
