DSL speed is mainly dependent on the distance that you are from the central office. After that it is dependent on your phone system configuration in your home.\nCable is not dependent in either.

If you are, you've been duped.  DSL should be much faster than dial up...and if it isn't...find a new service provider.

Yes, you should use the DOCTOR TCP link below to tune your DSL for faster performance.  My connection went three times faster on an older W98 system, but only +30% faster with WXP.  So, yes, you can improve the performance of your DSL.

Cable is definitely fastest, but if you have problems with your BB cable service - and assuming no other cable companies can offer your service - then DSL has to be your next option.  DSL in general aren't as fast, but still acceptable for typical web surfing, internet games, etc.  Of course, there is a possibility that you live too far from the central office, making DSL not an option.  Then, satellite should be your last option.  It is for sure not as fast as cable, but can still be 5x to 10x faster than dial-up.  There is a new offering from a company called Wildblue.  The link below will provide the installation and per month cost, but it really should be the last option.\n\nhttp://www.wildblue.com/forYourHome/index.jsp

only if u use some software to connect to the internet other than windows... \n\notherwise disconect the cable and create the new settings for DSL... if u you have a router you will need to configure that also

Yes DSL is much faster although cable would be even faster.\nThe difference between 768k and 3mbps is that your download speed can go that high but only if your close to the server. That means that the farther you are from your service provider the slower your speed is going to be.(CATCH MY DRIFT). The same goes for your upstream. So the bottom line is dsl is much faster  depending on how far you live from the server.\nAs for the 20 minute download, It would take approximately 2 minutes for it to download on 768k and approximately 30 sec. on 3.0mbps. I recommend going with cable because its always on and your speed doesn't suffer because of where you live so think carefully. Bye and enjoy..

dsl  is an ethernet connection. to upgrade it, you can call your dsl company and ask for more bandwidth., or switching to  the cable company  POSSIBLY could be faster, depending on how many other people on your block are using it.\n the difference between ethernet and usb is which plug you stick the cord into your computer. i would get the ethernet modem, that way it will be much easier to add a router later on if you want to. a router lets you plug more than one computer up to your dsl connection. b y the way 512kbps is pretty fast in my opinion. it's more than fast enough to stream video.

You need to call AT&T and ask; right now we are rolling out FTTN {Fiber to the Node} with the intention to use it to proved all of your communication needs.  I believe that is what you are referring to, but I am not at work, so I cannot look it up {they call it a number of different things in different places because of all of our recent mergers}.  If it is, you will be one lucky sap bro, they are going in hot in heavy to buy the market from the competition, the prices will rise in the future of course, but they are intending to provide your TV, Phone and Internet connection for about $80, it will be a steel, get in on it if you can.  You will not be able to beat the speed or quality of this connection, when you get it.\n\nThe reason why I believe it is that is because there has been no announcement of change the DSL title to High Speed and I think they would want that known company wide, they are trying to get everyone on the same page as fast as they can.\n\nJohn B.

Get a faster modem (56k) or get cable or dsl.  All pretty cheap.

I originally had cable, which was technically faster (3 meg down) but I switched to DSL.  It's half the speed (1.5 meg down) but i hardly notice the difference...and it's a lot cheaper, too (at least in my area).

Unless they offer high speed internet, you have to use cable or DSL from those companies.  There are small companies, depends on your area though

Yes Cable has a much higher potential to be faster then DSL.  \n\nThe real question is how fast do you need?  I have 6 computers on the same Cable Connection and it runs great! \n\nIf you have more than one computer on the same line Cable is usually faster.  If you have just one computer and are only "surfing" the Internet you will probably never notice a difference bewteen Cable and DSL.  If you are going to stream video and play MMORPG's then Cable may be a better choice.
