DSL speeds degrade with distance from the central office, whereas cable modem speeds degrade based on the bandwidth use on the network (a bit of an oversimplification), so if others in your immediate neighborhood are happy with their DSL service, chances are, you may be too. So you guys know, everyone has incumbent telco (Verizon, Bell South, SBC esp. Ameritech, Qwest) horror stories, in every one of the incumbent regions. I've worked with all the regional Bell companies and I can assure you, it's never a fun thing. Telecom in general is horrendous. Just mentioning this in case people wanted to match up their regional telco horror stories. It's useless. They all suck. :) And if you want to laugh about all this, I highly recommend a silly movie called 'The President's Analyst' with Montgomery Clift, which will confirm all your worst fears about THE TELEPHONE COMPANY!
