Darth Reven Posted January 8, 2005 Author Posted January 8, 2005 well its just for one house and one comp. As for speed i know the cable is faster. COX is like Comcast.

Darth Reven Posted January 8, 2005 Author Posted January 8, 2005 I found the actual speeds and they were 256k DSL and 512k Cable.

taks Posted January 9, 2005 Posted January 9, 2005 quest is having a ton of business issues, btw. they're falling apart at the seams. of course, my cable choice is adelphia, and we all know about that mess, too. taks comrade taks... just because.
Lithium Posted January 10, 2005 Posted January 10, 2005 I use DSL but I hear cable's a lot faster. I'd switch but I'm too lazy to call Verizon.

taks Posted January 13, 2005 Posted January 13, 2005 show me a link tetsuo... i'm a bit skeptical if you don't mind, being a communications engineer and all taks PS: not of you, just the technology... gigabit ethernet exists, but it has a limited range... comrade taks... just because.
trulez Posted January 13, 2005 Posted January 13, 2005 I guess those pesky Japanese are way ahead of us Finnish folks, but a mere 24Mbit/1Mbit ADSL2+ line is fine for now. http://saunalahti.fi/internet/adsl/adsl.php (about middle of the page)
Darth Tetsuo Posted January 14, 2005 Posted January 14, 2005 taks, I read it in a free paper on the train, so I can't reference that exact article. I did find this on google though... IHT
