Servers and Tos

[Steve Holmes]

I live up here in Tempe where I just switched from Sprint Broadband to
Cox Cable High Speed Internet merely to save a little on the monthly
charge.  Sprint would compare to mid speed DSL but Cox supposedly has
higher speeds.  I just signed up so haven't really measured
performance as a whole yet.  But yes, there is no real competition in
many areas - even in the city here in Arizona for high speed internet
service.  Example: my phone does not qualify for any kind of DSL
because of distance factors so all DSL options are off the table for
me. And there is no competition at all in the cable business.
