    uprgading from dial up ? Dsl or Cable

    I am currently stuck in th 1990''s with my dial up connection, I know. I have some questions about getting Dsl or cable. Where can I find the cheapest Dsl service. I did a search and not much came up, maybe b/c i live in apartment. Dsl also seems to have a very expensive installation fee (200-400$). Cable seems to be a cheaper install. Which one is faster and more reliable. If you guys could give me some info I would be very thankful. I live in south Florida just to let you know I don't live where not many people live.

    Get cable. Definatly faster and more reliable. I've had cable for a year and half and no regrets. If you do decide to get DSL you have to check if it is available in your area. In my area it wasn;t available whish also led to me getting cable.

      Oh man dialup. That brings back memories of me smashing my keyboard in frustration due to the rediculous slowness of that connection...

            Having both, I would have to say cable.

                    I also hated it whenever the phone rang my connection would be cut off! That's what led me to getting cable ASAP. It seemed everytime I was online the damn phone would ring!

                      THere was an easy way to stop that. Turn off call waiting. On mine you just dial *70 then the number to which you are connecting to. Still cable rules. I can never imagine going back to dail-up, ever.

                          Cable, it's faster but more money than DSL.
