Cable Modem (RCN/Comcast are providing 3Mbps down and about 300Kbps up). Verizon DSL (AFAIK 768Kbps down, 256Kbps up). Speakeasy is advertising 1.5Mbps down. In any case, from a Linux capability, most distributions will have zero problems with all of the above. Note that the cable companies will give you a small discount for multiple services. I switched from Verizon to Comcast phone a while back and I am pleased. With Verizon, I always had quite a bit of static, and with Comcast it is clear. - -- Jerry Feldman <gaf at blu.org> Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFAN3pi+wA+1cUGHqkRAq4rAKCCSXqOklzSBd7t8RsyYrBxXtX/pQCdFKoB AIVtJ2oPAozjb6f2doFrG0A= =0uuC -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
