Hailz all... long-time visitor, just signed-up.
Here's my situation:
I need to know if switching from cable to DSL would be a smart move, considering I've had nothing but problems with my cable since I changed apts. in the same town.
Online speed testing is useless, as it's when you go to download something that tells the tale, and my cable is having problems specifically at certain times of the day (which they say shouldn't be happening) and dropping from around 119KB to 60KB, which is ridiculous.
There's a DSL company in my town offering 1.5 MEG speeds, and even if that's in megabits, that's still faster than my existing cable:
1.5 megabits = 192 kilobytes = 1536 kilobits
I've never even run at 192 kilobytes with this current cable company.
They even just put in a new line, and it's still screwed.
Suggestions and info would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
