As the comments coming in suggest, I guess you have to ask the question "Compared to what ?" Once you've experienced broadband -- probably any broadband -- the
prospect of returning to dial-up service becomes too painful to comtemplate. (Still, I always recommend keeping one's 56K modem connected, as a fallback for
emergencies. Believe me, you will need to use it once in awhile.)

I don't know if Adelphia is the same everywhere, though I have my suspicions. Having received their cable-TV service for the last few years, and having consulted
their support people a number of times, I had no interest in sampling their cable modem service. Pac Bell, as disappointing as it can be, at least is a known
quantity. It's a shame there are no other real choices. But, if they push me far enough, I might start reconsidering that move over to EarthLink DSL.
