[Hidden-tech] Verizon DSL slow?

[Giannina Granata Silverman]

Hi All,

When I was searching for answers as to whether to go with cable modem 
or DSL, alot of "techie" types (have alot of sys admin type freinds) 
told me that DSL can slow down significantly based on how many users 
are within an area, and your distance to the hub. Which seemed like a 
deterrent to me...

I know that Verizon has been aggressively pushing their DSL through 
marketing at a low price, and maybe it's simply a problem of too many 
users condensed into one area, and too few hubs?

(my not-super-technical answer)

Best,

Giannina Silverman
