in san diego, cable is capped at 256kbps (i envy those whose cable is capped at 1.5mbps, here in sd, only T1 gives you that)
BUT....and this is a big BUT: most of the time typical DL speed
is 7 - 17 kbps, barely faster than dialup. only in the middle of the night is anywhere near 256kbps available. say for ex., from
10 pm to 6 am. this is using cox.net.
=====dsl, on the other hand, offers a uniform speed
24 hours a day. imho, if your choices are dsl or cox.net,
got with dsl. if you choice is cox.net or dialup, go with dialup.
cox.net is not worth 1 cent more than dialup during the hours
i use it.
