steve s - I wrote the following on 12/23. At this point(ADSL was all I wanted till now) they would have to storm my front door with lots of troops to wrest the Cable connection from me. It is really 'awesome' compared to 56k. I don't know what ADSL is like other than from "trial" reports over a year ago.... Hope that helps... Ed... <<To: Harry J. (14406 ) From: Ed Rochelle Wednesday, Dec 23 1998 11:09PM ET Reply # of 14554 <<OT>> Harry, I have to break in here and tell you that I have been a 'fan' of ADSL since 12/95 and chose to take the ADSL ride with AMTX, which was bought out by TXN. I am biased towards ADSL. I have hoped that it would have been offered to me by now, since I am a Bell Atlantic customer and they are rolling out the service. They have no date for my area as yet. I think they will be charging $150/mo for 1.0Mb. Last week I bit the bullet and connected on line via my local cable company. I was one of those holdouts who never bought cable so I had to take that also. I am paying $39.95/mo for the Family cable, which I have no time to view since I now can move around the Internet at lightening speeds. Most of the time it is really like changing the channel on my old rotary dial TV. It's almost in an instant... I am in the process of canceling my dedicated phone line ($18/mo) and my account with ATT Worldnet($20/mo). Hope this helps... Ed...
