just upgraded my DSL (they gave me the basic package at first). d/l anywhere from 190-250 kbps :tup: never seen it lower than that except on the server side limiting it. Overall, I’m happy 🙂 ---

Less money your giving to Adelphia that raises your rate if you try to cancel the cable service and just keep PL. > > My thinking: > > If I cancel the cable, my bill should go down. Well, it does, but the amount they charge for the PL goes up. Why? Is PL going to be faster because I’m paying more now? Nope. Still the same. There are still times when I can’t get online. I call Adelphia, and they say its my router. Too bad I don’t have one. > > DSL on the otherhand, hasn’t given me any problems at all. > > And as an FYI, you can get DSL without using Verizon as your local carrier. You could even ditch your phone service and get Vonage (broadband phone). It’ll work that way as well. Well, you’re an idiot then because. 1. you live in a free market economy and 2. don’t complain that the price goes up when you cancel the TV service if you are recieving special bundle pricing at the time. :slap: ---

And to stay on topic, I will never have DSL again. It’s slow, plus having to run a land line, and pay the ridiculous setup fees associated with it is ridiculous. Go with cable. ---
