Donny: Never say Never! My DSL (SBC Communications) actually IS 'faster than' cable. I've side by side comparison tested it with a Cable hookup (which I had on a free trial audition from Comcast). My DSL-Pro level service ($39) has been tested & confirmed equivilent to T1 speed, perhaps because I have a static IP (grandfathered in because one of the first DSL subscribers in my area), and because I'm located VERY CLOSE to a DSL switching station. - Scott
