Home Broadband: Cable or DSL

For many of us, there are basically two choices for broadband connectivity - Charter Cable or AT&T DSL. In many cases people are better off with AT&T DSL because Charter customer service is sometimes lacking and DSL is generally considered more secure.

The preferred AT&T Internet access device with wireless capability is described at this link: http://store.att.com/catalog/productdetails.asp?ProductId=1000%2D401047%2D000&CategoryId=catMRG. The benefit of this device over other devices is that it is recommended and supported by AT&T, so getting it to work and obtaining ongoing support from AT&T if/when problems occur should be easier and less frustrating. Also, this is the higher end of two wireless DSL devices that can be purchased, so it includes additional services such as enhanced security.
