Wow, I had the exact opposite experience here in St. Pete! My cable modem was running at almost T-1 speed, and my DSL runs at about 1/2-3/4 the advertized speed.
On my cable, I could have 3 Napster downloads coming in at 80KBps... with DSL, I'm lucky to get 20 KBps on 1 download.
I am, to put it lighty, fucking unhappy with Verizon's DSL service. They epitomize the "Money Grubbing Corporation" Archetype you always hear about. The line speed sucks. The tech support is awful. I'd love to cancel my DSL & get my old cable modem back, but I have a 1 year contract until February! When that contract is up, I plan on cancelling my DSL *and* my phone line & buying a Voicestream cell phone.
If anyone has the option between GTE DSL & *anything* else, take the other option! I beg of you!
>5) Valve suck (no really! ask the TFC community after the release of TF1.5...) This is true, I am a reg in news:alt.games.half-life.tfclassic.... and pretty much all the regulars there have quit playing TFC. All we talk about now is how to catch German spies, what kind of cars we drive... and make fun of Brian A. Stumm.
>>(some of you may have experienced the bastardized "Team Fortress Classic" in Half-Life) The Half-Life version was done by Team Fortress, the same guys that made TF for Quake, fewl.. It wasn't bastardized, it was a logical progression!

Dale Collis was supposed to be on that space shuttle, luckily he missed the bus from England.
It's a Panamanian thing.
If only Brian A. Stumm were here to read this. He's a hillbilly, you know.
