I’ve had mixed luck with DSL. Cable, however, has never let me down. Only problem is being restricted to the nearest cable jack (only have one in my apartment).

We’ve had Clear for a couple of months. The Internet service part has always worked fine (5 bars) with a speed of 12mb. But our Clear Voice service had a lot of calls breaking up, dropped calls, etc. It was almost unusable.
Following your suggestion, I just hung a flat piece of aluminum foil about 16″ wide, 12″ tall on the wall about 4 inches behind the modem.
Voila! No more dropped calls or call breakup. The phone is now completely usable!
Thank you very much for this suggestion!

I did have DSL from qwest the speed was a whopping 30kbs top speed. I was sharing it with 3 others ugh. We were on the outskirts of the service area. Right now we get about 1.5 to 2mbs with both the usb modem and home modem. So for some dsl is crap. Cable is ok if your cable is strong enough for it. I live in Portland, Oregon wish I could get fios.

Hello Brandon!

Take a look at the picture in our first post (http://www.disciplesofbloggism.com/2010/02/a-better-internet-experience-thanks-to-tin-foil/). We used a bowl to create the dish shaped tin-foil, then put it on the opposite end from the lights on the modem.

Hope it helps!
