WOW)

How does satellite compare. Say Dish Network.

Pricier? Less reliable? Fewer choices?

Responses:

I think the main reason I'm still with Comcast is because of the high-speed internet. Otherwise I'd go to satelite, which I don't think has their own - JaxSean Dec 22, 11:00 1
- they partner with phone companies to provide dsl. -- nm - decline Dec 22, 11:03
DSL? -- nm - Loosi Lou Who Dec 22, 10:57 10
- Through? Who provides DSL? Phone company? - TWuG Dec 22, 10:59 9
  - We had BellSouth DSL at first. It sucked compared to the cable modem once we got it. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 22, 11:01
  - I have Verizon. Works awesome. If I had cable I'd be sharing with the whole damn buildlng. -- nm - Loosi Lou Who Dec 22, 11:00
  - DSL is a dedicated line (no sharing - that's cable's problem). Further from the hub is a problem though. And it is slow. -- nm - decline Dec 22, 11:00 6
    - mine is fast. -- nm - Loosi Lou Who Dec 22, 11:01 5
      - apartments/condos are probably at or near hubs -- nm - zork Dec 22, 11:03
      - not really. The fastest DSL is 3mbps (Verizon is 1.5mbps). This is much slower than cable -- nm - decline Dec 22, 11:02 3
        
        in a huge buiolding like this, cable sucks. Verizon is perfectly adequate for me. -- nm - Loosi Lou Who Dec 22, 11:03 2
        
        So it's adequate, not fast. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 22, 11:04 1
        
        cable in this building: Neither adequate nor fast. -- nm - Loosi Lou Who Dec 22, 11:06
