Pretty handy little article in this month's Real Simple, comparing DSL, cable, and fiber optics (fiber-to-the-premises, such as FiOS) -- in terms of accurately appraising the pros and cons in a relatively tiny amount of words, it's one of the best comparisons I've read so far....

You've probably seen these kinds of TV ads from cable companies already. Apparently they've been "using fiber optics" for years, and Verizon's sales personnel probably ought to get with it and, uh...eat more roughage...? Huh?

If these cable sales pitches have left you scratching your head over how fiber optics fit into the TV and Internet picture, you're not alone....
