Default Screw AT&T I went with Qwest DSL

Yep, I kicked AT&T Cable to the curve as it has been nothing but a hassel. I am now trying out Qwest DSL. The one thing I like so far about the DSL is that it has 256k up stream, and over 600k downstream data rate transfers. No more choke hold as 128 Up. This means, amoung many other things, that I can now run a decent Tribes2 server.

Or at least I am hoping so.

The one thing about it that I do not like is the fact that I have to "dial-up" to gain access. I like the click the blue E, and off I go. But hey, for a decent up load rate, I can handle the "dial-up."

Any one got any thoughts on which is better? DSL or Cable.

Why couldn't this go in the IOC thread?

Anyway. I have Qwest DSL as well, and they've been a pain lately. Their mail server is extremely overloaded, and occasionally I'll loose all bandiwith- NOT connection- briefly. But they say they can't do anything unless I'm having the problem while I am on the phone.. but by the time I get through hold, it's over!
