[ale] Re-send: Opinions on Cable versus DSL

[Jay Finch]

Awesome feedback, y'all... I have been checking the sites and here's 
something interesting I found out:

Telocity/DirecTV DSL - Requires no contract, just return the DSL router, 
Static IP. $49/mo
Bellsouth - Requires no contract, return the DSL router if <1 year, Dynamic 
IP. $45-$49/mo
Mindspring/Earthlink - Requires 1 year contract ($150 if broken), keep 
router, Static IP. $65/mo
Gwinnett.com (Atlnet) - Requires 1 year contract, $250 install, they own 
router, Static IP. $65/mo

I think I might try out either Telocity/DirecTV DSL (which claims they 
can't service me) or Bellsouth for a month and see what kind of speed I 
get.  I'm about 21,000 ft from the CO, which is 15,000 ft closer than I 
used to be.  (I'm guess that they finally upgraded the box outside my 
subdivision.  They've been running cable & working out there for the past 
6+ months...)

Any more feedback?  Any "gotchas" to keep an eye out for?

Cheers!
Jay
