CMOS: I have seen both in action, and got the
DSL from SWBell a couple weeks ago. I am happy,
but there are some surprises.
Sites like this one and Yahoo are only slightly
faster - I guess the delays are on the server
end. Downloads are amazing fast. It is nice
that it is always on, and I can use the phone
now while online. Also, for about $100 I can
now get an ethernet router and hook up more than
one computer to the same DSL internet connection. I'll get work to buy that so I can
use the laptop they provide.
Cost is $37 / month, including ISP, that is a
special deal for employees of my company.
Basically, I was paying $21 for dial up ISP
before, so this is a $16 adder, and is worth it.
I don't know about advertised speeds, but there
are a couple places on the web where you can
actually test your connection with a real
bandwidth test. I have done so several times
and always get between 550kbps and 650kbps.
