Another good reason for me to cool it and be satisfied with what I have for now. The quest for bigger and faster is one we all seem to be guilty of. DSL is plenty adequate for anything I do and I suspect for most others to. These endless crap adds with comcast pitted against DSL drive me nuts. There really isn't much difference. Most of my bottlenecks have been well beyond the local loop. They make it sound like everyone really needs speed and after awhile we all believe it. I ran 24/7 dialup for years running a nameserver, sendmail, and HTTPD and it worked. Now with DSL it is seamless. My only concern is how long can I keep this. Will Verizon at some point force a switch from copper or will DCANET not be able to hold onto the DSL market. Obviously if DCANET can get a FIOS agreement I will go that way but until then I will keep what I have. Doug On Thu, 25 Aug 2005, James F.
