Hi all, I have SBC/ATT DSL currently, but would like to leave them. However I need a low rate and that's one of the good things about ATT, however there new privacy policy is a turn off.
Cox cable is pretty expensive here, but they do have a 9.99 a month option with a year contract, however it is 256k down and I believe 128 or 256 up. I beleive I get about 756 down right now.
I'm not a heavy downloader and am wondering how 256 down would be for general use such as XP updates, some software downloads etc...My thought is that most servers don't stream to you at much over 256 anyways? But I've never had cable internet before and wondered about bandwith slowdowns etc...
Also I heard some people say that there is a download limit with some cable plans? I didn't see anything about this on the cox page.
Thanks all
