DSL is going away. How can you compete with the cable companies offering download speeds in the 10mb range? DSL just can't do that. While it's impressive to think how fast you can transfer data over a copper phone line, it doesn't compare to a real broadband connection like cable.

A good speedtest web site is www.bandwidthplace.com/speedtest . It will test your connection and then tell you what is typical in your area.
