well broadband is not as expensive here as it sounds it is in the UK. Cable modem costs $40 a month; $7. modem rent is included. DSL costs $50 a month and requires a contract so I decided to go with a cable connection. The connection used to be fantastic until @HOME went bankrupt now Comcast has setup their own lines but they are very laggy. I think they are planning to increase their prices by 5 dollars or so pretty soon.

The sad truth is although i'm prepared to pay £22.99 - £29.99 a month (the NEW low price range for ADSL in the UK) with an initial £59 BT line activation fee plus a new ADSL modem for £50 - £100 and also 2 or 3 micro-filters for £12.99 each, the US still gets the above cheaper

I'm getting ADSL from 1st April and i wanted to know, should i get an Alcatel Speed Touch USB ADSL modem for £95 including 2 micro-filters OR an internal PCI Connexant ADSL modem from DabsValue for just £51? Get a well-known brand or a budget value make that should give the same functionality?
