    I saw that, at Maude Cobb. I would like to go, but have too many plans of working out on the lease. Bought a new feeder today, and tomorrow have to install two new feeders and upright a tower stand that fell over. If you buy anything, let me know.

    Give it time Quigley and you too will have high speed internet. Though I hate to tell you if you get DSL it'll never quite compete with cable [peep]

    DSL's speed depends on distance from the CO, or Central Office. ADSL, so called because it has more channels downstream than upstream. uses the original unshielded twisted pair of copper wires that formerly only carried a 56 Kb/s (Kilo bits per second) telephone conversation. The POTS uses voice frequencies, 0 to 4000 Hertz, and the ADSL uses higher frequency multiples of the baseband frequencies. ADSL can actually provide the user with that same 1.544 Mb/s data rate, and depending on noise and distance, can theoretically approach 8 Mb/s. Cable is also dependent on noise, distance, and number of users. At peak times, users have to share bandwidth.

    Then I guess I must be lucky ghostrider. Because in the 2 years I've been on cable I've yet to have had slow times. And I'm only on 1/4 T (most times I upload and download at 1/2 T capability).
