I have Comcast cable inet, which is supposed to be 6 mbps, lightening fast. It is - most of the time, but is rarely over 4 mbps. A good 2 mg DSL line would be acceptable for most of the things I do, but we have cable TV, so it is convenient to have the cable inet. If this package gets any more expensive, I'm going to switch to DSL. My son has it; he's a computer support guy. It works fine for him.
