a tid-bit And now for today's tip... DIGITAL SUBSCRIBER LINES Yesterday, we discussed some of the advantages and disadvantages of connecting to the Internet through your local cable provider. Local phone companies are beginning to offer DSL (digital subscriber line) connections, which also offer download speeds of up to 1.5 megabytes per second (Mbps) without tying up your voice phone line. You might pay $30 a month and up for the service, in addition to paying your Internet Service Provider's monthly rates. But with DSL, you can keep your e-mail address as long as you keep the same ISP, and the DSL line is arguably more secure than cable access. Top speeds may be more attainable on DSL lines, whereas with cable modems, you'll have to compete with others in your neighborhood for a share of the cable.
