DSL vs Cable?
« on: July 21, 2003, 02:42:05 PM »
Grr..
Im fuckin tired of AOL so my dad said we can get Optimum Online...but its $46 or sumthing, and Im tha only 1 that uses the computer so he dont wanna put that much money out monthly ya know?

We checked Verizon DSL but it said that I didnt have an "Ethernet" Card or some shit when we did the test to see if I could use it on my computer. Do I need the Ethernet card to run Verizon DSL?

Is there a dramatic difference between Cable and DSL?  :-\

theres enough difference between types of DSL from different companies sometimes too... its a bit of a broad question.

some companies offer better DSL packages than other companies Cable.. others off much better DSL that that too tho...

you need an ethernet card for both

dsl is better in a sense. when you have cable, the more people that have it in your neighbourhood the slower it gets. dsl doesnt get that

but go for whatever u can afford

ohh yeah!...lol I got cable for the last 3 weeks actually, and personally me n my apartment mate r the only one usin it, n speeds go up to like 80kb/sec! but dats between 2 of us...dsl at home was like verizon dsl I think and it was pretty fuckin slow...like 80 max too(one computer)..but the thing is other dsl/cable compites have diffrent speeds n prices...u gotta research n find sumthing thats coo for u..since U jus got one comp I think DSL might be the better idea. Payze.

On the bottom of the Verizon website, it says that an Ethernet card is needed....so I dont come with one. Im most likely going to get the 1 from Walmart but it looks hard as fuck to put in..
