Seems like I'm one of the few who have Cable on this list. Well, we go through Comcast, and we switched last year from.. I think it was SBC Yahoo. On cable, I believe are speeds are a bit faster -- though my roommates start to complain about it slowing down once I start seeding 3 torrents at a time.<br><br>Sending a file to a friend through AOL IM, I've been able to upload at 45KB/sec consistently. <br><br>I think we are paying $60 a month for our service... so I'm not exactly sure why it's 60, I think the internet might be apart of a bundle package with the basic cable service for our apartment. Oh that's right -- we also don't have a land-line phone, so I think that's the reason we went with cable as well.<br><br>So all-in-all, I'm happy with the service.<br><br>-Dave Kedron<br><br><b><i>Jim Becher <jbecher@yahoo.com></i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" DEFANGED_style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left:

I was just interested in what everyone is paying for broadband. I just switched from Comcast (~$45) per month over to AT&T DSL for $18 per month. And 3 months free with proof of switching over from a cable modem connection.<br><br>So far I have noticed a lower latency and about 2.5 Mbpsdown and 450kps up. The upload speed is dramatically better with dsl. I use a vpn connection back to my home for backup / email / and file sharing and the difference is amazing. <br><br>I was very skeptical of DSL, after hearing some horror stories.
