how does high speed internet like net zero compare to cable dsl
how would net zero work online gaming? would it be sufficient?

Wouldn't have any effect. Those "high-speed" services only pertain to web-browsing because they use a compression algorithm for html, asp, and php. They don't do anything for data packets in relation to gaming, so you'd be at dial-up speeds. DSL and Cable slaughter those services - and of course, they are always on.

those dial -up high speed stuff is crap... they make people believe they are getting high speed when it only speeds up your web browsing by about 3-5 times faster when my cable internet is 100 times faster than dial-up.....my bro has high speed net zero and his download speed isnt but about twice the 2kb/per sec he used to have... i get about 185-350kb/per sec with cable download... i download songs in under 1 minute... sure it costs $35/month... but its only 10 bucks more than AOL... heh... but im on the net 3-4 hrs a day either gaming, downloading 30 min long porn movies... ummm...not very often mind you... im not some ordinary pervert you know... heh heh.... i can see the backlashing and jokes coming in now

actually ffa restricts phone lines to only 5-6kbs per seconds for dial up this has been like this forever ever since aol2.0b so unless u have isdn it doesnt matter what they claim u will only get 5-6kbs
