Had ADSL for a week or two now Kevin.
Coming
from Highway it's unbelievable! Tops out around 60K a second
(although I
have no experience of cable I'm told it's faster - 70/80K a
sec?)
I'm running DynSite so I can deal with dynamic
IP
although my IP hasn't changed since we got it in (BT Business 500 40 quid a
month).
I'm using WinRoute Pro 4.1 and sharing round
our
LAN with no problems.
HTH.

Modem
Hmmm no replies on anything below - probably silent flames
for
not reading previous threads &/or the post was too long so just on the
off
chance that anyone has a recommendation on which is better :
If you
do
just reply with a vote for ADSL or Cable Modem.. TIA Kevin
PS: I now
know answers to most of the questions below (except blocking of incoming
services_- I'm just after an experience vote.

First of all apologies - I know there are a few previous

about to plough through the archives, I am just away

days.... any quick help would be appreciated
though.
I'm moving and I now have a choice of ADSL
or NTL Cable modem, I know
several here have just taken one or other
option. - which would you opt for
given a free choice ? Is there a
significant difference in the performance
or features
?
Can I run 'incoming' services ok on both - ie do
the providers inhinit
this in any way (dynamic ip expected on both).
?
Can I share my connection across several PC's
with both with eg ICS ? (I
sort of know about NAT issues as I use NAT
currently on my ISDN link).
The cable modem is a
little cheaper for me to install as I have cable tv
already so it comes
in at £25 vs £40 month (or less if I buy the
modem).
I am told I can also get a static ip from
BT by paying an extra £10 a
month and becoming a business user.(I think
normally you get a USB
connection) - would I then get an ethernet
connection and thus make the
sharing of the link across PC's easier ?
(Mixed Macs, Linux and Windows).
Knowing the problems dynamic ip causes
I
might take this option.
TIA
