DSL Rising

Posted by Hemos on from the got-to-keep-on-rising dept.

Steve wrote to us with an article about the rise of DSL throughout the world. What I find most interesting is the discussion about cable vs. DSL; in the United States cable is winning, but globally, DSL holds the cake.

  1. DSL == LSD by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 4, Funny

    For those of you who noticed that the submitter is dyslexic, the article is really about LSD, not DSL.

    And of course LSD is beating out Cable. There's just no comparison in the forms of wholesome entertainment.

    "Many legislators believe faster Web access can make people more productive at their jobs and help increase the gross domestic product . . ."

    Unfortunately, I think that they don't take into account what a small proportion of those people would religiously read slashdot.

  3. Holds the Cake? by Tsar · · Score: 5, Funny

    in the United States cable is winning, but globally, DSL holds the cake.

    I'm still giggling over this, and I have no idea why it's so funny. "Holds the cake?" Where did THAT expression come from? I suppose if the shoe were on the other hand, I'd have just turned the other chin, 'cause I hate to kick a man while he's spitting into the wind. But a closed mouth gathers no foot, so I'll say my two scents' worth and walk off into the sunspot.

  4. Thanks for rubbing salt in my wounds by asdfasdfasdfasdf · · Score: 5, Funny

    Considering MY DSL provider just tanked.

    Thanks Slashdot, for making the holidays truly happy. ;-)
