Is isn't a question of cable or dsl..... One point so many people miss is that the AOL strategy is AOL Anywhere... I am a dsl subscriber....pay my phone company 45/mo and pay aol 1q0/mo....This gives me broadband,aol and use of the phone while on the net....really a good deal if you think about it.... Too much is made about the speed difference between cable and dsl.....downloading a 10mb file takes 1 minute 40 seconds on broadband and 2 min. 30 sec. on slow dsl....Frankly thats not a very big difference compared to ten minutes on 56k....just surfing the net flipping from page to page, there is not a noticable difference in speed for either broadband approach
