I needed the redundancy as Comcast for a long time was very unreliable. It's been better in the last year. That said Comcast speeds vary a lot based on what I suppose my neighbors are doing as cable modem is a shared interface. The Verizon 3Mbps service speeds are pretty constant. Measured this morning using Speakeasy's page with San Francisco as the other end: http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/ Comcast cable modem - 22.38Mbps download, 4.27Mbps upload Verizon DSL - 2.89Mbps download, 0.74Mbps upload In my home I'm 54Mbps wireless to the Comcast router which might effect things a bit but directly connected to the DSL router. If one goes down I just change a couple of Ethernet cables and start using the other. I suspect that if I went to my wife's machine right now I'd get close to 40Mbps. In reality I find that _real_ transfers to other Gentoo computers using rsync typically run around 50% of those numbers averaged over time. Point taken about s/S. I didn't know there was an accepted standard to use 's'. Cheers, Mark
