DSL speeds "similar" to 50mpbs? How similar? The fastest AT&T offers DSL is 6mbps (it's my only option). I thought that was a hard limit on the technology, but googling it produces varying results.

I'm a .NET developer and I love C# & Visual Studio but have worked some with Java. Most of his arguments sounded to me like- "Just do complex-sounding long list of steps , it's easy!" Java development seems like a m
