I really learned quite a bit, in a not too complicated manner about DSL.

Hey there..
when I gave a higher price for the ethernet cards, I wanted to give people a sense for what's 'good'. I've used a bunch of the cheaper cards and although they do work and whatnot, I have had much better results from 3com or adaptec cards because they seem to be much more compatible with older computers. That's all.
DSL definitely has many flaws, and people really need to realize it could be a lot faster than cable modem if you are really close to your central office.. or it could be slower than ISDN if you're really far from the central office..
oh well.. thanks for the comment!

Nice review, but... (Reply to this comment)
by lambchops
I have a few additions/corrections. Ethernet cards can be as cheap as about $20 for a reliable one. Cards for laptops are more along the lines of what you were speaking of. Also, DSL is slower than cable modems (in ideal conditions). If you've got the option between the two, I'd still stick with the DSL. Although, if alot of people are on the same node on a cable modem you may be bogged down. I would compare DSL, Cable, ISDN, and Satellite along with the simple 56K modem (of which it is impossible to connect at that speed because of FCC regulations).
Like I said, great review. This just happens to be an area of my expertise (thanks to employment in the computer industry and a degree in Telecommunications).
Thanks!
Shelly.
