I don't know what planet you guys are on but DSL has much better speed than cable, unless you have fiber optic cable of course.
Do a true speed test on regular cable at peak time and see how fast it really is.
My DSL is 6000/1500 and its like that 24/7 I'd like to see regualr cable top that.......oops for 44.99 a month.
