OK...so it's time for me to make the big switch from AOL DSL to a real Broadband. Unfortunately, I'm going nuts trying to compare the local (Maryland) Comcast cable with the Verizon DSL service. On a strictly economical basis, Verizon wins with it's latest (today!) price cut. But can anyone point out the pros and cons of each, to help me make a decision?
I've always assumed the cable could be faster, at 1500Mb, but it also could be slower, if a lot of users in my neighborhood are logged on at the same time. I've also always assumed that DSL was more reliable, but generally slower. However, one of the other TechIMO postings says that if you're withing 12,000 feet of a CO, then you can also get the 1500Mb speed. I've been very pleased with DSL for its reliability and consistency, even though the AOL DSL causes several headaches that I've had to overcome (with help from this web site, I might add!!
).
So, does anyone have an opinion about Comcast cable versus Verizon DSL?
