dang buddy,,,,welcome to half of the internet ;-)

Cable modems round here run at least twice the speed of DSL, and my company is getting our T-3 turned up next week to 6Mbps(for the non techies this is about twice as fast as the top speed of a cable modem)

Congrats Dreth!! I got cable modem 6 months ago. It wasn't available in my area until then, neither is DSL. I had dial up since 1995. I love the cable modem. I had to get a seatbelt for my chair. Also cable modem is 11 times faster than DSL.

We've had cable for a few years now and love it.
My wife just spent the last 6 days in the hospital for complications from Gall Bladder surgery. I stayed with her at night and had to use dial up from the room. I couldn't freakin stand it. It took forever for the page to open, Every time I read the next post it took at least 45 seconds for it to open.
I will never go back to fial up again.

AOL Broadband is a service that uses your existing high-speed internet connection. So in a nutshell it isn't broadband, its just as useless as Internet explorer only you pay $25+ a month for it. Yes, I am still on Dial-Up and I play online games, or atleast I tried to because I gave up. Everytime I play Halo or anything else AOL gives me the boot. We have both Cable and DSL connections available in my area but my parents choose not to get either, so I figure its time for me to stop being lazy and pay for my own cable connection.
