Dora, I don't know who your DSL provider is; mine is my local telephone
company (BellSouth). Everyone I know who has cable complains about how much
it goes out. Then it takes days or weeks for them to react to the problem.
I don't think you made a bad decision. In my area, when DSL goes out it
normally means the phone service isn't working either and they jump right on
it. The speed is also very, very good (at least here).
