We've just set up DSL a couple of weeks ago, having waited for its
availability for some time. We're either lucky or quite near the CO, as we
are getting excellent speed and reliability. Setup was a breeze, including
adding the wireless card for the 2nd machine.

We couldn't get hi-speed cable as our community is serviced by only a local
cable company and they don't offer it.

I was desparate to get a hi-speed line as my office allows us to work from
home 80% of the time if we have it.
