DSL sucks balls.
|
DSL is slower because it still runs on telephone lines.
DSL stays at a constant speed all the time, where as in Cable it can be slowed down depending on how many people around you have cable. But even in an are with alot of people with cable it's still fast as hell. |
JmE.

[QUOTE=Sk8SkaNJ]DSL isn't faster tha cable.[/QUOTE]
It's supposed to be. Cable is a community shared connection, meaning that everyone in your area that has cable internet shares your internet. DSL however, is a closed connection. It runs though your phone line meaning only you use it. I have mid-range DSL. It's about the same speed as cable, but it slows down sometimes. |
How cable works is a certain amount of bandwith is given to an area. The more people who are connected to it the more bandwith is used and if to much gets used it slows down for you.
But ultimately Cable is faster than DSL just because only so much info can be sent through telewires. |
Is 54mbps good?
|
Does anyone have that website where I can test my speed?

[url]www.optonline.net[/url] has one. More specifically [url]http://speedcheck2.optonline.net/speedcheck/speedcheck.html[/url] |
[QUOTE=Renaissance]Is 54mbps good?[/QUOTE]
do you mean kbs? |
2,901 kbps is my speed. Sounds quite all right to me, anything would after dial-up
|
Yeah thats good, I'm at about 5000 but thats probably because this cable company like owns my area. Anything above 2000 is good. Most cable runs between 3-7.
|
My DSL is GAY
|
Does it have aids?
|
Uhn yeah, it's gay isn't it?
|
[QUOTE=Sk8SkaNJ]do you mean kbs?[/QUOTE]
Nope, I mean MB. |
Thats like 5400kbs, thats faster than my cable, I doubt DSL gets that.
Do the speed check form the link above and tell me what you get (asuming you have dsl). |
My current speed is:
100.0 Mbps |
Do the speedcheck and tell me what it says, it gives it in kbs.
|
614.4 Kbps
|
Ok, that means that your running at .614 mbps
|
I got 638, is that good for DSL?
|
1532

I've had DSL and cable. The DSL was Verizon and it sucked so we got Comcast.
Meanwhile my mom's still using AOL. |

:lol: I've been reported by Meg who at the moment is stalking through the forums trying to argue with me. A bit hypocritical to use those methods in trying to get me banned. Maybe she's never heard of trolling.
