[DM-MUG] Moving to DSL or not, which speed is important?

[Victoria L. Herring]

I'm in the midst of comparing various DSL providers and there are 
different up speeds and down speeds to compare, some have 800+ up and 
3000 down, some with 800 up and 1000 down....just generally, I do 
know I want lots of speed both ways, but if I have to take a hit, is 
it better on the up or down speed??  For instance, the Qwest info is 
840k up and 1000 down...and another carrier is 1000 up and 1500 
down....but there's another plan of 896 up and 3000 down...which 
makes more sense?  [pricing is more or less the same]

I assume if I moved to DSL the DSL provider would then be the ISP?? 
Right now MCHSI is my cable company provider and ISP but I don't use 
any of its services other than the 'pipe' and if something goes 
wrong, phone call or in house service.
