Cable
is generally cheaper, but the bandwidth will be shared among all houses
on
your spur. If you are the only person in your street it will be
blisteringly
fast, but if you live in a street of nerds (like us) donwloading large
files all
day long then it could start getting *really* slow. Connection tends to be
via
ethernet so it is easy to incoporate it in sany existing network. The
only
way to really find out how it will perform for you is to find someone in
your
street who has it, and try downloading a large file at peak time to see
what
bandwidth they can achieve.
ADSL
has a contention ratio so the bandwidth you pay for can be shared by either
50,20 or 6 users depending on which flavour you go for. Having said that,
I've
had ADSL since December and I've never had less than 400k available, so
either
I'm the only person connected at my exchange, or I don't understand how the
contention ratio works, perhaps Keith can ask a colleague at Martlesham why
this
is? The domestic version id designed to connect via USB, but with any
version of
Windows after Win 98 SE *or* Linux the modem can be shared through
software.
Tim.
Can
someone tell me the pros and cons of cablemodem and
ADSL.
I
*think* I can get either in my area.
If
so I am not sure which one I should go for!?
I
guess they should be routed to node0?
Also, does anyone know whether it is better to leave a computer on
24/7
or is it better to shut down frequently...., regularly....,
occasionally?
Thanks
Vijay

True.
Why don't BT offer a 24/7 connection on ISDN
for those of us that can't get cable or ADSL for a REASONABLE
price!

I'm just not very confident in the ability to deliver
in the wake of
EuropeOnline and now Starspeeder.
Even though
ISDN is much slower at least it's a known entity to me,
so I may take
that option for 12 months, and then look at what else
is
available.
