Why AWARE (AWRE) is better. "Using a cable Internet connection, you can expect transfer speeds up to 30 Megabits per second (Mbps). Typically, most present day cable test sites offer a top download speed of 1.5Mbps and a top upload speed of 300Kbps. The MAJOR problem with cable Internet connection is that the consumers have to share bandwidth with their cable connected neighbors. For example, if your neighbor is downloading a MPEG video file, your download speeds plummet. In the near future, phone companies throughout the world will begin offering faster Internet connections at an affordable price in the form of DSL or Digital Subscriber Line. DSL promises speeds more than 250 times faster than analog modems using existing copper phone lines. This technology offers an “always on” connection. While using this type of service, you only need a single line for all of your telecommunications. And while its peak speeds may be slower than cable's, you don't have to share the line with your bandwidth-hogging neighbors."
