Art and Science:
A Universe Apart? by Richard Panek.
| The merits of various fast Internet connection services for the home. And why you may not be able to get any of them. Cable modem is available in some South Jersey communities from GardenState@Home. DSL service may be available from Bell Atlantic, depending on exactly where you live. However, there are sometimes problems with DSL lines as well. The price for DSL varies depending on how high speed a service you choose; the one which is equivalent to cable costs a good bit more. |
