Moving..stay with DSL, go cable?

[Chris Janicki]

Checkout www.netway.com, based in N. Andover coincidentally.  They can 
colocate a server for $75/month... unheard of elsewhere.  Then go cable 
modem at home.  This is exactly what I did.  For less cash, I think they 
offer hosting too.  They've been a smart bunch of guys, and very 
responsive.

(DSL is in trouble... Covad only has a few months of cash left).  I was a 
victim of the NorthPoint disaster, and I can vouch for the fact that 
there's no smooth transition once they go under.  I only had 1 week 
notice, and didn't get offers to transfer service till after I was cut 
off.

My ATT cable has been surprisingly trouble-free and the speeds are very 
good in my location (Melrose).  I can often get 1Mb/s+ downloads.

PS: Tell Netway I sent you... maybe they pay referral fee?  ;-)
