www.dslreports.com carries some good info on the differences between cable and dsl. I'd like to know where some of you people are that you get a choice of cable and dsl providers. In podunc arizona, you have one cable line provider and assentially one home dsl line provider. Your isp can depend on who is offering the service. In my case, my home connection runns through a different isp then the dsl line provider. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gregory Nowak" <greg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Richard Villa" <villar at earthlink.net>; "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Saturday, December 06, 2003 10:04 PM Subject: Re: Servers and Tos > Yes, for the pppoe part or what have you at least.
