To BeckyG & Vader, the oh-so-helpful ones,
I had a couple of geeky questions for you guys and I was hoping you could answer them. I figured the other UCSF folks might also be interested, so that's why I'm posting and not emailing directly. Here goes:
1. Do you really need DSL and/or a cable modem at home for the new curriculum? Or are the high-speed connections on campus enough?
2. Do you know which is better/cheaper - DSL or cable - for internet access?
3. Do you know which high speed provider has been best for you and/or your classmates? I've heard PacBell.
4. I'm thinking of getting a cell phone only instead of a home phone. Do you know which cell company has the best service up in SF? Verizon? AT&T? Sprint?
Thanks for your help!
