Comment Re:DSL Pricing... (Score 1) 98

I'd like to add my .02 to this.

I've had both AT&T/SBC DSL and RoadRunner, First off RR here is as fast if not faster than the advertised speeds. i could upload and download at the same time without either slowing the other down.

The DSL i have currently(price of $24 month to month for the 3mbit one is why im using it)if i am downloading and start an upload the speed on my download drops atleast a 100k if i upload at max.

I live in a city of about 30k people so the "sharing" aspect of cable doesnt appear to effect the speeds here.
i have not checked the price of RR recently but even if its still 44.95 its worth the extra money for the ability to upload and download at the same time without worrying whether one will slow down.

Needless to say I am about to go back to RR for good.

Slashdot Design Changes for Wider Appeal 854

Our marketing department has done extensive research over the last 3 quarters and discovered that our audience is strangely disproportionately skewed towards males. Like, 98.3% males to be precise. To correct this oversight, we have decided to subtly tweak Slashdot's design and content to widen our appeal to these less active demographics. Don't worry! We'll still continue to serve our core audience, but we hope you'll work with us as we try to find a balance that will work for all.
