a new data transfer protocol for the Internet that makes today’s high-speed Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) connections seem lethargic.So what? My cable modem service makes most DSL connections seem lethargic! ;O)

(Just my opinion, of course. Your mileage may vary. You have the right to be wrong.)

Can you give me an idea of the speed difference between DSL and cable? We're in a new development, and we're not equipped for either yet, but I want to know if I should hold out for cable in any case. My home internet use is entirely recreational.

What kind of speeds are you getting with cable? I'm getting a little over 5 Mbit(640 KB/sec) down and .5 Mbit (65 KB/sec) up; with dsl.

What are you getting from your lame cable modem? :-)
