This is a pretty good stream...Thanks Carlitus


poop on modem connections, I can't wait till I get a job...The first thing I'm going to do is get a high bandwidth connection.

So, which is better Cable or DSL? My neighborhood is not going to have any other connections to high speed. They're all old, long retired folks.

werewolf,cable smokes DSL hands down.No comparison at all.DSL frequently unsynched.Many,many,many calls to customer support.Terrible experience.Cable never,,NEVER is down.Usually if it is not synched it's because I unplugged it from the wall.I get 3500kbps down and 368up for 95$.It is a thrill that you must see to believe.I know it ain't cheap but life is so freakin short,eh?

I can have cable connection in my zone, so i use dsl. I'm in a very small town, ind i thought that (maybe) dsl connections are not available for me. But i can! I have a dsl connection that works very well. It auto configures himself (the router and dns) an my computers, a Mac and a Wintel. It NEVER unsynches, always 25-30 real kb/seccond (12-13 down).
For me, the adsl works very well, and i have pay a small quote for a allways-connected Internet, and i can use my home phone simultaneously too. Cable connections (in Spain) are very very very expensive, comparing with same features (256+, 128-) too.
If you wish to get dsl, ensure you before if your zone have digital lines, and if the company have the necessary infrastucture

Thanks guys for the info. I have to get a job first but I suppose I need to do a little research into the local guys who are offering each.

there is neither cable nor dsl where I live

KarmaGirl,there is always satellite.It is a bit expensive to install,,and the speeds are not that great but it is broadband.I have had it too.If ya can't get cable or DSL it might be yer only option.I think they,Direcway,will let you pay the equipment and installation charges over 6 months.It's like 99$ a month and 40$,I think,for service.

werewolf,I can tell you for sure that there is no way DSL can deliver,over copper phone lines,what cable can over a coax.DSL may talk but I assure you there is NO WAY for them to compete with cable.

well, cable *is* the cheapest option here, and they are having some kind of installation special too. I'll probably go with that.

werewolf,there is no better choice right now.If you buy your own modem,be sure it's supported by your cable company,and it's even cheaper.They are almost giving them away nowdaze.Usually Motorola Surfboard 4100.Used to be 130$ and now I have seen them as cheap as 29$.And in some cases they are giving them away with 60month or a year contact for service,I have an DSL modem I would give to someone who I think would get something out of it.

Not 60month but 6 month contact,bad typin skills.

ok, ok. I'm a dsl user because i have no other alternative to get a fast connection. Maybe the Cable are better, i can speak about it without knowledge. But, if you campares the same features (in speed -256 up, 128 down-), the prices are very very lower for dsl; i'm basing an Spain prices, and maybe in your country are different.
Anyway, in dsl or cable (or satellite or electricity, or radiofrequence) the only one way that i don't recommend to connect to internet is the modem.

What are the prices of these things in your areas? Just curious.
Here (in Quebec, Canada), with cable you get about 10 Mb download (64k up though) for $30/month. While ADSL is about the same price, but you only get 1 Mb download.

paxx,If you own yer own modem it is 32$ for 1500down and 128up for regular service.For Pro Service it is 95$ for 3500down and 368up.DSL is almost 50$ a month with laughable speeds.USA/Little Rock,Arkansas.

definetively, Spain is very under developed :
dsl basic (256 down) = 41,02 eur tax icluded
cable (only internet) 300 down+cmodem rent = 39,00 eur + 16% tax
In favour to cable: there's available promotions Internet+phone+TV too

I'm paying a lot for a worse service
