Today after an prolounged outage of my AT&T DSL service I dumped it and went back to Time Warner Cable broadband. On AT&T I was getting ~2Mbps downloads. On Time Warner I'm getting roughly 7x that for about $15 more per month. Ahhh.
And it's worth noting that 14,074kpbs is 500 times as fast as the state-of-the-art USR Sportster 28.8 fax/modem I bought in 1996. If my math is right, that works out to the speed of my Internet connection doubling roughly every... 18 months. Spooky.
