Mari,
Maybe cable is the way to go, it might even be cheaper. I have the bundle package, phone, cable tv and internet, one bill.
Yes, dealing with cable companies can be a pain. But here, they just hook you up outside, if the people before you had cable, then it's just a flick of a switch.
I never had DSL so I don't know much about it.
good luck!!!!!!! Best wishes in your new home....enjoy.
Hugs, Nikko
