Re: This isn't breaking news.

Sharing bandwidth is different with DSL and cable. Obviously all ISP's share bandwidth - they aren't going to have a dedicated 3.0Mbps pipe for you or me. However DSL gives you full bandwidth between you and the ISP (point-to-point), whereas cable you also share bandwidth to the ISP's node.

verizon has been sharing bandwidth in there DSL. So, many slow downs on the east coast.
I am apparently fortunate. I have not seen any slowdowns or packet loss on my verison DSL line.
