cable really doesnt have lag if you have a good install. if you are there for the installation and make sure they dont half ass it then you should be good. according to my cablemodems logs i've had ~2.1% downtime in the last 3 years, mostly from storms that knocked the power out in my neighborhood. and hell i get 8mbps down/512 kbps up now which is more than enough for any type of application. granted this was implemented while im over here in iraq and all i can see is what i use in ssh but from what i've seen it is going at the prescribed speeds and my wife has never had any complaints. i would never suggest to host anything on it, of course(same would go for DSL).

I have an IowaTelecom Business Line/DSL Line and it's running about $99/month for the DSL. I'm in Nevada. I've thought about looking at Mediacom but the prospect of downtime or lag kills it.<br><span class="sg">
