RE: [OT] ADSL Max - New microfilters?

["Phil Harris" <phil@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Given that I was recently looking at swapping over to ADSL (as my employer
will pay for that whereas they won't pay for my cable internet connection)
it seems that I may have been sensible for once and made the right choice
t=
o
stick with cable - has anyone got ADSL Max and is finding it works as it
should?

(10Mbits/sec cable - and getting 10Mbits/sec!)
