Don’t be like most people that end up wasting a tremendous amount of time with a slow connection in order to save $5 a month.

Many times the price for DSL is ten dollars less than cable high speed.

DSL also uses your existing phone wall or floor jack, so you don’t need to install any additional hardware in your house.

About a year ago, my husband discovered the world of gaming using his beloved Xbox game console. What he didn’t know at the time was that Xbox had a feature called Xbox Live that allows you to play with others over a high speed internet connection. He was determined to get connected so he called Comcast to see if they supported this feature. It turns out they worked with Microsoft to ensure that Xbox Live is fully compatible with Comcast broadband Service.

The good news is that the online gaming feature was very easy to set up. Installation was not complicated and there where no confusing configurations to worry about. Both the Xbox website as well as the Comcast website had all the information needed to make his dream a reality. He followed the easy step by step instructions found on the Comcast website. Their documentation was excellent and they had extensive information for trouble shooting the connection in a detailed and organized manner. The best part about it is that the online gaming feature was already included as part of our Comcast Service Plan, so we didn’t incur any additional fees.

The broadband industry has turned us all into chicken littles. Back in the day (in the 1990′s) many people used to worry about the internet “running out” of bandwidth. That is not exactly the case with mega giants like Time Warner Road Runner Internet constantly improving technology. I remember being made to feel guilty about large downloads. People would say “If this growth continues, soon no one will be able to download anything!” Well, it turns out that we were wrong. My download size has increased, the number of people on the internet has increased, but bandwidth has increased even more! There is no longer talk of the whole system coming to a grinding halt.

I can’t find any exact statistics on this, which is driving me crazy because I love statistics in every way! However, I don’t think that this dismal prediction about downloads was just paranoia. At the time and given predicted growth rates of the industry and download rates it was quite reasonable that we would “run out” of bandwidth soon. I guess the broadband industry really came to the rescue there, because goodness knows that no human is going to give up his/her greedy ways to conserve scarce, shared resources.
