Re: Broadband Connection Speed

[Yonah Russ]

Here is an article covering the basic differences b/w cable and dsl-
   http://compnetworking.about.com/library/weekly/aa111200a.htm
In short, cable is theoretically faster but since the bandwidth is 
shared b/w all the cable traffic in the neighborhood,
it will very often give less bandwidth per household during peak hours 
(if everyone in your neighborhood is a kazaa-lite master, every hour is 
a peak hour)

Hi All,

At home, I am connected to the Internet through Cable. 

I went to a friend with ADSL. I noticed a dramatic difference  in speed 
in favor of the ADSL connection. 

Is it possible? Am I imagining things?

Thanks,
