    Cable but it doesn't seem any faster than the DSL was (only more expensive ) The cable guy said it was because most computers aren't fast enough to keep up with the speeds.... so then its basically useless, right?

    The speed of a cable internet connection fluctuates greatly.

    They run common lines to many houses (The hocks on the street are hubs, rather than discrete line connections), and your connection speed is determined by how many people are currently using the service and how much they are downloading.

    DSL, on the other hand, is a dedicated line.

    We have FiOS - fiber optic from Verizon. It's great, more reliable than Comcast was, but not on your poll, and not available everywhere yet!

    We enjoyed and supported our cable modem for a long time. Then it really got screwed up, aand after many, many months of going through it, we finally switched to DSL. We also have a wireless network in our home. Unfortunately, our desktop computers (two of them) have died on us!!!!! I am on my husband's laptop, right now. The DSL has been pretty good. It is a 3.0 connection, but plenty fast for what we need.

    Connections

    I have a Flintstone-like MSN dial up on my web tv system. The only thing nice about it is that I can sit on the couch with my wireless keyboard and watch the internet on my regular 20" tv set. Is anyone else familiar with web tv?
