Comment cable modem = good (Score 1) 330
OK, so /.-ers like to complain and kvetch as a general rule -- but I just wanted to say that I've been spectacularly happy with my @Home cable modem connection.
I had DSL previously from 2 providers, and @Home is half the price for 5X the performance. Yeah, they don't give you T-1 upstream rates, but it's not supposed to be a T-1 for $40/month! The support I've experienced has been very good, too. Though you need to recognize that @Home is sold through your local cable company (so your mileage may vary). When I've gotten past them to talk to @Home, the people have been quite sharp.
Sign me in as a cable modem happy-camper. From friends I know in the area, @Home/cable modem is outselling DSL about 9:1.
