Re: Looking for new MVEND ISP

I think you all may be forgetting the downside of a DSL line... The
major benefit to it is the cost, yes, I agree, however; its NOT a T-1
line.  A DSL line is also not considered a ``Priority 1'' line either,
which basically means, if you have the lines go down, a T-1 line will
have priority over a DSL.  

Speed is also a factor, T-1's can have sustained speeds up to
2MBit/sec., DSL can have that only one way (unless you work something
out with your provider) - and that is usually downstream, not upstream.

Basically depending on your situation a DSL line is nice, just like a
cablemodem is too. However, you need to remember about downtimes, etc...
you dont want to have a line go down on you and not have your site up!

thats my $0.02 :-)
