i have dsl and it's just fine. I get consistant 1200KB/sec speeds (10Mb/sec) and it's $30 a month.  :dunno

cable internet is very near the same speed for 45.

i ditched the "cable" tv about 5 months ago. no regrets.

It varies heavily by area.

shmokes:
3Mb/sec here. Which is pretty much dialup.

well I get what's advertised. which is uncommon. I know they say "up to" but The fella I talked to while we did the installation a few months ago, said they have the capability to supply much MUCH faster internet with even old technology... but they actually artificially keep it slow to encourage customers to upgrade to the next high speed level. They pretty much keep it as slow as possible. If people knew how fast the internet can be (take a look at the speeds in japan it's about 30 times faster than the fastest internet we can get in north america.) when they run it wide open it's disgusting.

Only in america. And I love america. I love america. (Bonus points for knowing whose song that is.)

Anyways, here's some shots from an 80s movie, last night. I kept marveling at the picture quality. Growing up, I saw perhaps only thirty movies in the theatre, having seen most movies at home on cable, and it's a kind of new experience watching those movies on this set-up. By the way, the file size of this movie shown is only 2.3gb. Even better that this is on a laptop that, while it's a core centrino and has 3gb memory and 384mb video memory, is only a 1.8 dual core with Intel video, and it producing no artifacting and smooth motion.
