GEN:Internet service?

[Patrick Slevin <pslevin@xxxxxxxx>]

Really depends on the area. I have @Home and it's split between 3 computers
with great results.

I've been in Dallas and the people there would prefer EarthLink because Cable
is unreliable, according to them.

Every area is different.

I use a cable modem through Mediaone in chicago.  It is not only for inflow as
you might think.  It is very reliable, cost effective (about $40/month) and very
fast.  My friends who dont have cable modem access yet are jealous when they
see the speed.  You should definatley consider getting it when it becomes
available.

     I have a 56k modem and a x2 supporting server at the other end. However
the internet service is far from reliable in terms
     of fluctuation in speed of delivery in/out. As I understand it, ISDN even
if it were available charges for an hourly usage,
     and cable is for inflow (only?) 

     Does anyone use cable, if so what is their experience, or PC Satellite,
and how would I get more info. on PC Satellite?
     Cable is not yet available here, but may be in the next quarter. 

     Thanks,
