My daughter will soon be moving into her own apartment and has to decide between Verizon DSL Internet service and Cablevision Optimum Online.

Can someone describe for me any pros and cons you know for each. What are the basic differences in quality and reliability of service?

I currently have Optimum Online, through Cablevision, and everything is fast and reliable. But Jodi has worked out that the finances will be somewhat better with DSL (coupled with her telephone service), provided she isn't really sacrificing any quality by going the DSL route.

Your comments and guidance would be much appreciated. Thank you.
