but one has to wonder why they used a 384 kb/s variant of ADSL against a 27Mb/s cable modem platform I suspect they did this because the two systems are the closest in price (with dsl at the moment still more expensive). The bias of the survey is obviously towards consumer use with the emphasis on "prime-time" evening hours and measurements of downloads times for small web pages. Eric

Frank and all (1) Had cable Internet Nov 4 , 1998 to Nov 9, 1998 (2) Talked to the manager of the local company (3) They took 69 users via cable to the office and there we all got on a single T1 line. (4) Some times when the Intel employee down the street was doing a big down load, could not even get on SI (5) Manager gave me the $100 deposit back. .......... (6) Now Pacbell will install ADSL in July 1999. (7) IMPORTANT The 384Kb ADSL is the min value. Talking to others already on ADSL, they get over 1.5 GB sometimes ...................... (8) You must look at the Internet connection as a system of highways.Sometimes 2 lanes and some times 8 lanes ............... Larry Dudash Half Moon Bay, Ca
