So if the load is heavy you may notice that your service can be slow. It all depends on the time of day. Now with AT&T that 6MB down and 512K up is yours, you don't share it with anyone, and DSL practically NEVER goes down unless they are doing routine maintenance in which they let you know way ahead of time. Hope this helps.

Also, for future reference, AT&T is getting ready to launch U-Verse here in Atlanta which is essentially the same thing as Verizon's FiOS up north. It's a dedicated fiber pipe to your house with 30MB down and 4MB up roughly. Last time I talked to an AT&T rep they said they are pushing for holiday season this year.

Ok enough of my jargon. That's my
i had dsl on fiber lines and it still doesn't make a difference; my comcast connections still get better speeds plus overall cost is less.
