<p>For people who are living or going to live off-campus, do you use dsl or cable for internet? Can you explain why as well?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>cable because its a cheap add on to your tv service and most peopel dont have land lines.</p>
<p>It depends on availability and price in your area.</p>
<p>I agree w/ jcas323. Verizon DSL is available at Cornell but you’re locked into a 1 or 2 year contract. There’s also set up fees and early termination fees and stuff. I’d rather choose Earthlink Cable via Time Warner</p>
<p>Well, if your apartment lease runs for a year, what’s the problem with a 1 year contract? Since my roommates and I don’t want cable, we have DSL and it’s been good so far (and cheaper). If you’re getting cable TV, though, Time Warner probably makes more sense.</p>
<p>Most people get Time Warner cable and internet. It’s pretty cheap when split between all your roommates.</p>
<p>time warner usually has a 29.95/mo cable modem offer, if you sign up for a one year contract. However, if you go over that one year, it jumps to like 45 or 50/mo. A way around this, if you don’t change your apartment every year, and you have a roommate, is to just change whose name it is registered under each year.</p>
