Cable vs DSL?

[nottyboi]

I have the option of switching to Cable from DSL for about the same $$.... how much more bandwidth does cable have? (in real life)

Depends what provider you are with...

it is better than dsl but not enough bandwidth

I looked at Rogers and Bell and Bell has this promotion that won hands down... it's Fibe25 for $34 a month.. it's 25Meg Down & 7 Meg up with a 120Gig cap... 40 Gigs more is only $5 .. FREE Modem and no dry loop fee. Rogers can't seem to even come close to this special.

I think that Bell Fibe deal is for the first 6 months...



after that it's $60/month.

I currently run two fibe 25 lines (with a cisco dual wan router that combines the line speeds to give me 50/14). Since I've been a customer for awhile, I was able to get both lines, with a free modem rental, and their extra bandwidth (40gb*3 i believe per line) for about 59.95 each for the next 12 months. I'ts not too shabby really.

Only thing with the dual wan router, i had to get an older version traded in at cisco for the latest hardware version (v3) because it was giving DNS hiccups every few minutes. Once the replacement arrived, web surfing has been smooth as butter.
