DialUp DSL Cable how do they compare with regard to disconnects. In particular is DSL any better than DialUp.

Re: DialUp/DSL/Cable disconnect question
Go with Cable. I rarely get disconnected, the only time I had a problem was when the firmware on my router needed to be updated...
I have heard sopme people have problems with cable (as far as signal strength or something like that). But a signal booster should take care of that. This I believe is only when you have a lot of items on your cable +6TVs +2 puters.

Even so (and bump) I would still like to hear people's experiences with DSL, specifically re disconnects. Speed is not really an issue.

Re: DialUp/DSL/Cable disconnect question
I use DSL by Verizon. I can only remember 2 times loosing connection in like the last 5 years or so. One time 1/2 the eastern seaboard got knocked out and the other time oh well. I'm NY so maybe this has something to do with the service being very reliable.

Re: DialUp/DSL/Cable disconnect question
I had cox cable for 3 years and never had a problem, them I started getting disconnects, I switched to Qwest DSL and have been with them for 2 years and had no disconnects.
Pretty much I dont think it matters, just find which one is best in your area and go with it.
