Here's the deal. I got one way sh1tty cable modem, with slow uploads (doesn't really bother me, it is that the ping are still like i am on dialup). I don't get super fast downloads, 70k at tops..Now I play alot of games, but I also download alot. I'm guessing IDSL will top off at 20-25k? Is it worth it for me to goto dsl, buy a dsl modem here (i'm thinking i could find one in the fs/ft forum), and have the alyways on capability..I need to know :) I would also probably go with a no contract dsl provider, as I would be switching back to cable modem when I can get 2 way (which, according to comcast, could be anywhere from 1 month to a year). Thanks, And i don't even know if this is the right forum, but i figure I could get more anwsers here then anywhere else!

I have idsl. It is very expensive for the speed(isdn is expensive after all). It maxs out at about 18k/sec in both directions. If yuo want IDSL, be prepared for very high monthly costs or long term contracts.

I am looking at www.dsli.com
It is 80$ a month, i THINK they include the equipment, and there is no service contract :) I'm really debating whether or not to get this, one way cable modem just sucks!
