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

["Thomas T. Veldhouse" <veldy@veldy.net>]

I used to have MediaOne cable - and I rarely did over about 150 KB/s.  There
were sometimes that I was able to get 250 KB/s.  However, now I get 140 KB/s
quite regularily and it is all mine - to serve as I please :)  And I was
shown by the installer to be 13100 ft to 13600 ft from the CO.
