nothing except a slight speed advantage with the cable modem, and a cost advantage on the dsl. Dsl is offered through the phone company, traversing over their twisted pair wiring. Cable goes over coax. The speed difference between cable and dsl is potentially theoretical, as bandwidth can go down with many cable users in the same neighborhood.
Well, comcast is no angel, either. If surewest is half the cost, I'd get that instead. I've had two friend with surewest, and I don't hear a lot of complaints.
Cool. I will look into it. My dad had DishTV or DirecTV, which I was going to replace with cable, but my coworker says Dad probably had to buy the dish. I guess I will have to get my brother to show me how the channel changer works & how to find the other channels. :/
High speed is DSL. It's just not the highest speed. ;-)
Yeah, go with comcast, the prices are not as reasonable as I thought. Then you get a ten dollar discount on comcast when you subscribe to television programming too.
