8. I have DSL
Same prices as you quoted.

DSL has an advantage in that it's not so dependent upon the "pipe" going down your alley. If you have a lot of subscribers in your area, you may have traffic problems and reduced speeds.

On the other hand, DSL speeds are dependent upon the distance from the hub. I happen to be very close so my speeds are regularly high.

With DSL you have to place filters on all the other phones in your house to enable you to use them for voice calls. We've had problems occasionally with these filters. May may a difference for you.
