| Cable vs. xDSL
My main problem with cable (besides the fact that my local cable company is
Comcast--more on that later) is that with cable you don't get to choose your
ISP. True, with xDSL I'm stuck with a TelCo for local-loop service. But
after that: I get to choose not only my ISP, but my CLEC as well.
Comcast@Home cable is a perfect example of the problem. As many here know:
Comcast@Home recently changed their service agreement to prohibit VPNing
between home and office. I wouldn't have a big problem with that if
they offered a "business-/professional-level" deal for a reasonable price.
But what they want you to do is sign up for @Work--a hideously
expensive proposition! And if you don't like their choices: tough.
So even though the only xDSL available in my area right now is IDSL--limiting
me to 144k up/down--I'll stick with xDSL, thank you very much. |

|  It's not a monopoly, if you don't like the service they offer... switch to DSL.
Personally, I perfer the so-called monopoly. There's no finger pointing when something goes wrong, and it's always in their best interests to do a good job. |
