Re: [TCLUG:21970] Should DSL or Cable modem

[Jon Schewe <jpschewe@eggplant.mtu.net>]

Well considering hte fastest DSL I can get is 144k, it should be. The cable
companies only seem to be able to figure out how to get 2Mbps down and 640Kbps
down.  That's still better that most DSL out there.  It'd be nice if they
could really figure out how to use it and do 5Mbps both ways.  My college had
that 5 years ago.

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels 
nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any 
powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all 
creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that 
is in Christ Jesus our Lord. - Romans 8:38-39
