Well, I installed/connected to DSL yesterday, thus I have not had the chance to gather much experience with it. But so far it seems fast - anywhere but on the board that is !

I got it from German Telecom (768 down/128 up) and in my case, as a "heavy user", it actually helps me save money ! In Germany flatrates are still virtually unknown. The only two offers I am aware of are both only available with DSL. The one I am using costs 49 marks a month ( about 22 bucks )and then I have to pay an extra DSL fee of 15 marks (about 7 bucks) a month on top of my normal ISDN telephone tariff of ( 60 Marks - $ 27 - a month, but my flatmate pays half of that). So my fixed telecommunications costs amount to 94 Marks or $ 43 dollars a month (plus, of course the variable telephone fees) - still a lot of money, but a far cry from the $ 100 online costs alone I a managed to amass in April. Damn this board !

So long !

R³ - new, much improved signature under construction !

Hey Slackerboy, you should think about buying your own modem. It will pay for itself in the long run, even though you have to come up with about $200. I think when I bought mine, I got $100 rebate, so it was definitely worth it.
