The thing that matters with DSL is your distance from the source... a 1.5 meg line is only 1.5Mbps at the source. The further away you get, the slower the connection is going to be. Like I said earlier, my shit was fast as hell... but we were like 400 yards away from the switching station place...

Sprint's air card has DSL speeds...

I'd go with cable modem only, but get Dish HD for TV.

so when you say Dish HD, are youtalking about dish network with HD, or the DishHD package from dish network?

we were originally looking at the America's 200 then adding HD for like $60 or 70 bucks, but then we saw the DishHD package which is just 45 HD channels for $30....none of those other 200 channels I never watch. interesting.

Then for $40 we can add DSL ultra, tho I'm trying to see if the "extreme" is in the area yet

Satalite. when the robots attack they'll use cable to tie us into knots.

Dish + DSL = Epic Win
