Servers and Tos

[Sean McMahon]

www.dslreports.com carries some good info on the differences between cable
and dsl.  I'd like to know where some of you people are that you get a
choice of cable and dsl providers.  In podunc arizona, you have one cable
line provider and assentially one home dsl line provider.  Your isp can
depend on who is offering the service.  In my case, my home connection runns
through a different isp then the dsl line provider.
