Digital BW, The Print

Jimbo,

Thanks I understand.  I have DSL in my studio and it runs as you describe......but I have cable at home via Comcast and we have pretty outstanding service here in Silicon Valley.

Download speeds just tested this evening is in the 18-20 Mbps speeds....its late at night and there is not much other traffic.  It normally runs in the 6-8 Mbps range during the day and early evenings.

Upload speeds are pretty consistent in the 3Mbps range.

However as we all know cable is very much of function of the number of users in the area where DSL is more of a function as to how close you are to the equipment.

Regards,
Paul
