[quote name='michaelgoonan']Cable, but It's down constantly. I'm thinking of switching to DSL. It's just as fast and you don't have to deal with the hastle.I'm now on a DSL connection and it's great. I see no difference in speed from the cable modem, seems just as fast. Not sure what the cable people are talking about when they say it's 3 times faster (or something like that).

Its not always faster I think theres a way to get more data through, but most of them don't. When I had DSL I only had like 1, 2, something like that mb per second, where as with cable right now I have at least 3. While the difference is slight, it makes a difference when downloading and uploading, and playing games online.I wish I had a T3 or higher lol

Our school has a T1, but they need more, as my DSL gets a megabit per second, whereas my school gets like 35 KB/s. Pretty ridiculous.If I could have any connection, I'd get a Sonet. They get like 2.5 Gb/s. Pretty ridiculous.

I have been using Comcast cable for around 5 years with very little down time and very good support. The speed has been very good, usually much higher than average. I recommend them to all of my clients and none have been sorry, so far.Davehttp://www.davescomputerserv.com
