SBC vs Comcast High Speed Internet?
95539
I have Comcast High Speed Internet, and it costs me $42.95 per month.  I never have any problems with it, and I would say I'm a heavy internet user.  At night and on weekends, I do about as much web surfing/downloading as anyone else.  Never have any problems with that.  During weekdays, I connect to my company's VPN and use AT&T's Call Vantage service at the same time.  I never have any problems with that either (in fact, the VPN never bogs down, the way the network in the office sometimes does).\nNot sure what else you'd like to know about it, but I am very satisfied with the service.

Comcast has 6.0 and 8.0 internet srvcs is right now the fastest in the  market. No homeline required and no contracts either. Go to www.comcast.com/ my area and u will be able to see all the services we have in all areas all over the USA. We even offer phone services in some areas. Great services. And now they are even taking over other companies like Brighthouse networks and Adelphia in South and Central Florida.

I have sbc yahoo too and when I hooked my laptop up to dsl I had to buy a wireless card. I bought mine at Best Buy. It is a Linksys. They usually cost around $60-$70. It comes with a disk. so just follow the directions.

You would pick Wireless broadband at home if you can't get DSL or Cable high speed.   Your other choice would be satellite, so check Hughes-Net.   \n\nOne advantage is that you could protect your system from lightning easier with transient protection equipment.  You see, with a phone line or cable, lightning is a terrible threat in some parts of the country. \n\nThe other tiny advantage is that you could place your equipment anywhere in the house. Hopefully, your wireless broadband service is compatible with a router, so you could share your connection. \n\nGood luck and Happy Computing!

It will depend on your service area and which regional Bell company serves you. The most inexpensive offer for high speed can be free: many cities are partnering with wireless companies to provide Internet access. I guess you can check with your City government to determine if anything is being planned or already in place.\n\nDSL from your local phone company is usually the cheapest offering and provides a good balance between speed and cost (up to 1.5mbps downloads for about $20-25/month).\n\nCable usually offers the fastest downloads (up to 3mbps) but is usually the most expensive at $40-50/month. They do offer some introductory pricing specials.

DSL: Its the fast.....\n\nCable: Is the best(faster than DSL) if you have a **dedicated** line.....generally you dont get dedicated lines at cheap rates.....Else your cable line will be shared and you will get low speed when many people are using at a time.\n\nSpeed band: Are you referring to JUNO speed band ...well it works on compression technologgy...its faster than dialup slower than cable......But its the cheapest.....

If your question is whether cable is "faster" than DSL, check out http://www.broadbandreports.com/faq/129.  The answer is yes, with caveats.

Depends if you want cable (fast) or dial-up (slow). Comcast is good for speed. BellSouth has dial up & DSL offers if you have a line w/ them. Netscape also offers it if I'm not mistaken. I've used the first two w/ no complications.

Do you receive television cable through Comcast?  I find internet access through cable is faster than DSL.  However, DSL is cheaper than cable.  Check the AT&T and Comcast websites to see if they provide service to your area.  You'll have to enter your telephone number for AT&T and your address for Comcast.

Hi speed internet is mostly dependent on the internet connection itself but a speedy computer does not hurt. Hi speed access comes in many forms. DSL requires that you have phone service available and how well or if it work at all is dependent on the amount of cable feet you are from the central office of the telephone company. Cable access overcomes many of the distance issues but as stated above some companies require you get their cable tv service as well (comcast did not). But some cable services just plain suck, such as adelphia in yuma arizona. Other possibilities that you can consider are microwave type internet connection, A T1 or fractional T1 supplied by your telephone company to your isp provider, Cellular broadband (only works well in major metro areas), or a Satellite dish based service. These can all become quite pricey.

Right now broadband is the way to go for speed and file size. It's the fastest. Cable TV are normally the providers of the service. DSL is the fastest telephone line service available, but broadband cable is twice as fast. The guy above me, could have told you with-out all of the extra jibberish.
