Latency isn't bad, it takes around 50ms RTT from here to Kevin's place.
The AT&T net is fairly fast except when it really sucks (maybe once a
month).  What efm's talking about is that the inbound bandwidth is pretty
high, around 200KB/sec.  Sending things out is pretty easy to swamp the
line, as it only has around 30KB/sec there (which was until a few weeks ago
only 15KB/sec).

If you want to run servers, DSL is a better choice.  However, I was under
the impression that you *HAD* no other choice than dial-up.

You can't select an ISP on it, you either get AT&T or you don't get a cable
modem.
