Hi all,
I will be moving to the Fort Wayne, IN area soon. I will be leaving Mediacom cable internet to go with either Comcast or Verizon. I know cable is faster by a long shot, but is there a benefit to DSL that I don't know (as I've never had it hehe). Is the Comcast cable experience about the same as Mediacom?
Thanks!
Jeff

Depends on your area. Cable and DSL is about the same price here ($42 a month). For the same price as DSL I'd rather have 6 times the download bandwidth.

I have comcast and I absolutely despise them. I live about 15 mins from pugley but I can't get DSL.
Comcast has the stupidest people working for them ever, not that the phone company is much better. I know i'd dump cable so fast if I could get DSL. My biggest problem aside from the incompitent techs is the fact that they sent letters to people who downloaded too much and if you got 3 of these they would kick you off the service. This insanly stupid practice stopped when the cap went to 3meg down, thank god.
Personally if I had the choice I'd get speakeasy DSL its $99 a month for 6 megs down and 768k up. Thats about the price I pay for cable if comcast had a 6 meg down 768k up plan. I don't know if you can get speakeasy in Fort Wayne though.
