SBC has been talking about Project Pronto, Project Lightspeed, whatever they call it now for years. Nothing has ever come of it.
My 6mbps DSL circuit that's working 29,000 feet from the CO thanks to Pronto, disagrees with you.
Yeah but Cable has had that for years now....next?

Yes, they commonly have higher speeds in SOME areas. Mainly where DSL has been uping thier speeds, or in Fios areas. Many areas accross the US still have maximum 3-4mb/s connections just as DSL does. The major thing that kills cable is that many locations where the main hubs are located are over-crowded, causing many people to see dial-up or slower speeds. I know for a fact that that happens in my area since I used to have cable internet, that is the main reason I switched to DSL (as well as cable having higher latency).
