I still say that DSL *can* be as fast as or faster than cable - it all depends on the service and the speed caps. It looks like Comcast is essentially taking over the US cable business - and they are going to be going to a tiered service. Around here, they only offer a 1500/128 capped service at this time. 1500/256 DSL is available here from SBC, but not through the remote terminals, they are capped at 768/128.

You just can't generalize like that, Jim.
