OT - Voice and Streaming Video over data channel Jing Qian, My reply didn't address the relative merits of cable vs adsl to support video. My reason for posting was to clarify some of the points you were making about voice. See my next message, in reply to your assertions about the video part. Frank

*ANYONE WITH KNOWLEDGE* How does the DISH PC (Satellite connection) compare in terms of speed in downloading, general surfing, etc.? I believe you maintain your local ISP for uploading, etc., but can someone explain exactly how this works and the advantages/disadvantages of this over cable and the other modes being discussed here? The price of the DISH PC at $35 per month (plus, say $15-19 per month for your ISP -- although there are FREE services now available) -- how does this compare with cable? What are the choices RIGHT NOW? Please, someone with complete knowledge, post them in order with advantages/disadvantages/pricing/availability. You can PM me if you wish. Thank you very much. I remain, SOROS
