Subject: RE: BS: High speed internet- cable or dsl?
I use the same broadband cable company for internet, phone and TV. Very satisfactory here. Their virus and Secure system, included, is excellent with almost daily upgrades (I also have Spyware Doctor, but probably not necessary). In the city, cable is best.
For my daughter, in the boondocks, satellite services are a must, and she is happy with that (separate satellite receptors for internet and business use, and TV). Very heavy cloud or heavy snow cuts her service for a time (Her phone is down more often than the satellite reception, high wind can down the line and it takes time for the repairs).

The phone company here was playing catch-up for a while, but I haven't heard any complaints lately, so I would guess all services are satisfactory.
