DSL is great for the money. i'm not home very often so the 49/month or whatever it was for roadruner was a litle too much for me. i got the SBCdsl and it's fine for browsing, gaming, that kind of thing. if i was hardcore into file"sharing" or something i would have stuck with the cable, but i'm not and i have no complaints with the dsl. the home network modem thing they give out is pretty sweet too. i know routers are cheap,but the one they give you is pretty handy.
