Probably not.  You see, DSL comes from your phone service... so when you pick up the DSL service from anyone,  it goes throught the same switching system.    \n\nLet's say that you get your phone from BellSouth.   I bet that their service, customer support and fee structure is better thatn Earthlink, since they would only be a MIDDLE MAN. \n\nBut you can check out the system in your area at http://www.dslreports.com\n\nGood luck and Happy Computing!

Depends where you are. \nWe pay 29.95 a month for Road Runner (Time Warner) which means we have Cable Modem fast and it doesn't take up our phone line, oh and they gave us AOL free too for as long as we stay with Time Warner.\n\nDon't listen to that guy down there, DSL is not as good as cable. Either one of them are better than dial up, but Cable is much better.

DSL: Its the fast.....\n\nCable: Is the best(faster than DSL) if you have a **dedicated** line.....generally you dont get dedicated lines at cheap rates.....Else your cable line will be shared and you will get low speed when many people are using at a time.\n\nSpeed band: Are you referring to JUNO speed band ...well it works on compression technologgy...its faster than dialup slower than cable......But its the cheapest.....

The church I attend has the Directway satellite connection.  At the beginning there were more problems with connection.  Though the connection seems to be pretty consistently up now, it is just seemingly slow.\n\nThere is another satellite ISP now called Wild Blue based out of Denver, and they provide service throughout most of US.  Their website has the information on equipment, installation, and monthly pricing.\n\nhttp://www.wildblue.com

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.

It will depend on your service area and which regional Bell company serves you. The most inexpensive offer for high speed can be free: many cities are partnering with wireless companies to provide Internet access. I guess you can check with your City government to determine if anything is being planned or already in place.\n\nDSL from your local phone company is usually the cheapest offering and provides a good balance between speed and cost (up to 1.5mbps downloads for about $20-25/month).\n\nCable usually offers the fastest downloads (up to 3mbps) but is usually the most expensive at $40-50/month. They do offer some introductory pricing specials.

If this is a dial up modem, there's not a lot you're going to be able to do, as the speed depends on the quality of the wiring from within your house to the outside, from the outside of your house to the phone co., and from the phone co. to your internet provider.  If this is a DSL modem, and you're speed is that slow, I'd suggest checking into cable modem service, or contacting the phone company providing your DSL service to find out why your performance is so bad.

Customers are required to order online.\n\nThe offer includes:\n- DSL Express - $12.99 for 12 months\n- DSL Pro - $17.99 for 12 months\n- $49.99 Rebate towards modem or AT&T Wireless Gateway\n- AT&T Yahoo! High Speed Internet CSI kit\n\n\nOn May 1, 2003, SBC began offering Basic - S and Expert Plus promotions (defined below) in all regions except for the Northeast. Midwest Speed Tiers changed from 384 Kbps - 768 Kbps to 384 Kbps - 1.5 Mbps, and from 1.5 Mbps - 3 Mbps to 1.5 Mbps - 6 Mbps. Any Members with the original Speed Packages of 384 Kbps - 768 Kbps or 1.5 Mbps - 4 Mbps in the Midwest.\n\nThe following products were added to all regions.\n\nStatic IP Low Speed (up to 384 Kbps) \nDynamic IP High Speed (1.5 Mbps - 6.0 Mbps) \nOn March 25, 2004, SBC began offering the 1.5 Mbps - 3 Mbps Expert product for both Consumer and Business and discontinued offering the 1.5 Mbps - 6 Mbps Speed Tiers Product in all regions except in the Northeast.\n\nOn April 26, 2006, SBC began offering the Speed Tiers Elite product in all regions.

But if you are planning to connect several computers to the internet the you would need to buy a router for that or you can also tell the agent that you would be needing the 2wire modem/router (also capable of wireless connection) because you would be setting up several computers. I'm not sure if you're gonna be charged for this kind of modem/router though.\n\nI would have been able to provide how much their service meight cost for you if you only provided what city and state you are in. But for pricing and billing inquiries,I suggest you call this number 1 888 792 3751, this is their number for orders and 1 866 722 9246 for their sale department.\n\nOr you can also visit the following websites:\nwww.sbcpromotions.com \nwww.sbcsignup.com \ndsl.yahoo.com

I am in the beginning stage of this battle as well.  Four months ago, I upgraded from basic to pro, only to find that my download speed has not increased.  Upload has increased approximately 15-20% to 410Kbps.  I've contacted AT&T Yahoo, only to be given the script trouble-shooting answers such as, "Clear Cookies, Delete Files and History.  Allow all Cookies, turn off Internet Security" and turn 360 degrees, reboot your machine, reload OS, and chant a Christmas Jingle.  I have not quite gotten the rewire the house telephone lines or rework the plumbing request, but I'm sure that'll be the next one.  They've refutted my theory that it could possibly be the three-year old SpeedStream 5360 DSL router that's causing the bottle-neck, since 3.0Gbps wasn't even a techie's wet-dream when the router was designed....  Sorry that I don't have an answer for ya' - just wanted to let you know that you're not alone on this one.

Basic difference:\nDSL is over an existing  (or new) phone line\nCable is over Coaxial Cable No Phone line needed\nDSL has a physical limit from it's distribution points after whcih the signal degrades enough for the FASTEST DSL to not be reliable.\nCable has no such limitation in real-world usage.\nCable uses a shared netwrok whcih can account for traffic slowdowns in some cases, but this is not a RULE.\n\nSpeed differences:\nCable has higher upper lmiits then DSL And the speed fluctuates.\nDSL should be more consistent and FLAT. Yet can still be FAST.\n\nIt depends on your area. That's the bottom line.\nFor some DSL works great, for others it's CABLE. \nCable tends to be more costly.

Cancel it and get a cable modem.  Just think about it, DSL is sending data through an old school telephone wire.  Cable modem is sending data through the much newer cable lines, and thus, much faster and much more reliably.  Do whats right, make the switch!

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.
