Reply #11: Cable modem, unquestionably!

[Systematic Chaos]

I've been a Cox broadband subscriber for almost 3 years. The only time I ever had a problem was when my drug-dealing trash neighbors in my old neighborhood insisted on helping themselves to free cable via my connection. This dropped the line levels enough for my service to become very erratic. But, Cox was always there within a day or two to cut their line and after the third attempt they pretty much gave up. They were nice enough to reimburse me for the downtime on each occasion so I didn't lose any money, just a little EverQuest time.

With their fastest connection speed I was able to download a 400+ MEGABYTE software file in just over a half hour! Try doing THAT with DSL.
