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.

    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.

  2. 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. ;-)
