As much as I loathe Verizon as a company, my DSL has been pretty much
solid for the past four years. There were only two outages since I've
owned my modem, and both were resolved in about a day.
Sure, it might be a bit slower than cable, but cable is just too damn
unreliable. As a former
I have had great service with our TWC cable. I'd say that in the 5 or so
years that I've had RR, the cable has only been out 3-4 times. All but one
of those lasted less than a few hours. The other time it was out for about
1.5 days.

Who's your provider? Be aware, several providers have already said they
will work with groups (like MPAA) to block all bittorrent access through
their networks.

It's the local cable company here in Nova Scotia (Eastlink.) Since it
isn't yet illegal to download movies, etc here in Canada, I don't think
that's the problem.

You are just having some bad luck. Trust me, I am in the same Regional

They upgraded the code on their routers, and hopefully it should be okay

Yes we do. But we pay a tax on all blank media that is given back to the
artists that we are supposedly robbing with each blank CD/DVD we use.
Cool. Where do I register as an artist and get part of the take?

The problem with US laws are that they simply do not address matter-of-fact
infringements.
Simply put, you get caught downloading copywrighted movies or music, you pay
the price. That is all that should be needed in the law books.
Instead we have an asinine set of laws that allow somebody to

My guess is that if NJ Verizon is that high, that would explain
Comcast's upgrade. As it is I pay about $40/mo for the same level of
service from them. DSL is the only competition that pushes them up!
Hard to believe in '99 we were paying $1000/mo or so for a T1 lines
gateway service.

That's the drawback to my DSL. My upload is horrible. But since I don't
do much P2P (I do most of my downloads on Verizon's EXCELLENT news
server) I don't mind the sub-par upload.
The best part is, speeds are only going to get better. :)
