The Wash DC area is cursed with some of the worst utilities anywhere. I think the phone company, Verizon, is the successor to GTE, which for the past 30 years has continued its reputation as America's consistently worst phone service provider. The former Bells historically have been better, but there's no choice, it just varies by area. The cable/DSL split is about 50-50 among the people I know. Cable is more expensive but faster. Netflix is the most speed demanding thing I do, and my DSL connection handles its highest quality stream easily. -- Goodsounds ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Goodsounds's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14201 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85190 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
