Eeesh! AOL? Dumped that shit when it was at 3.0 and have never looked back (though I use AIM because everyone I know uses it).
Never used DSL. I've had cable for a month and a half now (Optimum Online) and it rocks. On good servers I usually get over 200 k/sec downloads. I can usually start watching a movie trailer before it's half way done and not have to wait for it to load (loads faster than I can watch it). It hasn't gone out on me yet, though I have this weird problem where I can't run it through the splitter (so I can wach TV at the same time) before 8 pm, or else it won't work. Something like if the line is split too many times the signal is too weak or some shit. I don't mind too much, there is little on during the summer, and if I do want to watch something I can buzz downstairs or switch the wires in a minute.
Cost is $45 a month, and the modem was $125 (though they had a deal form The Wiz where the modem was free). Totally worth the 45 a month though. And online gaming is even better as well.
