if you use netscape 6.. it remembers all your passwords.. better than gator.. because it doesn't have the occasional ad popup..
oh btw.. the cable guy couldn't install cable on my computer.. we have four computers and 1 laptop.. my computer runs Windows NT and the hardware is rather old (amd k6-2).. we are going to buy either a new workstation (intel Xeon 866) or an Athlon 1.1 ghz and get cable installed on that.. we can't get cable installed on our athlon 900 because my sister is taking that to college with her.. and our pentium III 500 cause we can't network the cable with that computer.. and the fourth computer is a amd k6.. so its really old and slow.. but we have linux on it.. the laptop is faster than my computer :) [pentium III 700] but you can't install cable on laptops..
so i have to wait until January 1st when my dad decides to buy the workstation or the athlon 1.1ghz..
about speeds of cable and dsl.. my city doesn't have a pacific bell Central Office so all our DSL subscribers rely on one pretty far from here.. the farther away from a CO you are, the slower your connection..
i have 3 friends with DSL.. my street doesn't have DSL so I had to go with cable.. but when getting their opinions on DSL vs Cable they said cable.. supposedly DSL has a better constant speed than Cable and is more reliable.. however uploads on DSL can only get up the same speed as uploads on a 56k (generally 5k per second).. Occasionally speeds can be erratic.. you can be downloading at 15k per second or 150k per second even from the same server..
Cable.. tends to become slower during the daytime but never slower than 20k per second.. can max out to 200k per second late at night.. and on average is around 60k per second.. the only times cable comes to a 'crawl' is when they are having networking problems.. and as time goes on.. they are having less problems.. my friends used to have a backup dialup to connect to when their cable was down.. and at one time.. the cable service provided a backup dialup (AT&T worldnet).. but now they say problems occur for about 15 minutes at the max and like once every 3 weeks..
