I had almost forgot as well. It seems generally speaking xp is tweaked pretty sweet for dsl.  Most that try to tweak dsl only find there connection get slower. Now I am sure there are exceptions for this rule. I have yet to have really seen in positive improvement with dsl on xp trying to tweak it out. But that does not mean its not possible. I also disagree on you can have cable any place. Im just to far away at this point to really get decent cable. I live in an upstairs apt. The drop and distance to the box is just to far. I will say with cable you can tweak it and get some really killer speeds out of it.

I live in Central Oregon and we have a cablr provider who want's $43 for for cable modem service that's 3Mbps down / 900 Kbps up.....then we have various DSL providers. I went with a DSL provider that gives me a 8Mbps down / 1.5 Mbps up speed for $49 per month. So it definitely depends on where you are at and what the competition is like. Also Cable is shared via Nodes...you can have 5-300 homes on the same node. The modem service got bogged down so much on some days that it was at almost ISDN speed. With the DSL i've never had that problem because it goes from my modem directly to the DSLAM and then out via another dedicated connection...each DSL user is basically their own node and they don't share that node with 300 other users.
