I've been a happy Flex dial-up customer for years. In the near future,
I am planning to go high-speed with a wireless setup at home. I'm not
interested in gaming. Just want a fast, reliable connection to do
online research, downloads, and some uploads--including using iDisk
@mac.com.

So, what's the best way to go? RR? Verizon DSL? Flex DSL? Something
else?

TIA,

Leon

LavaNet is another option for DSL. I work there, so naturally I am biased. :)

We don't have any restrictions on setting up home wireless gateways (at
one time some competitors did, but that might be outdated info). I use iDisk
occasionally with no problems. The round-trip latency is about 65 ms to
idisk.mac.com from the office here (add 20-30 ms for DSL). We also have an
Akamai cluster in our NOC, which can significantly speed up contact with
apple.com since Apple uses Akamai for their web site and some software
updates. You sound like you probably don't need it, but we have good Mac-savvy
technical suport (Macs sit on the desks of almost half the managers,
including president and vice president).

Good luck, and I hope you enjoy wireless and broadband!
