Not only does it work, but I am really surprised and impressed. * It's only
been up and running for an hour or so, but it is amazingly fast for DSL. * I
thought DSL was slower than cable, but it's not the case here. *This DSL is
much faster than the Comcast cable we have in the house.

Yup, a dirty little secret. Our DSL was ungated by a guy who worked at
the router and it smoked the Cox cable locally in Essex, or here at
Comcast. Even before it was opened up really but certainly after...
It's just bull and selective sampling that gives the cable companines
the right to say they are faster...

It could be that although the DSL is on a wireless router, I only have one
computer on it versus 2 or 3 on the wireless Comcast router in the house.
But the difference is very, very noticeable. *Hope it stays this way.
