I stick to the actual facts of what I got with cable and what I get with DSL. I don't really care about caps when DSL is so slow, the caps are built in. What you claim about cable being old tech is ridiculous. DSL runs over copper lines installed decades ago, cable hasn't been around that long. DOCSIS 3 is going to push cable to 50mbit+ in my area...while DSL, your superior technology is still and always will be limited to under 7mbit. The telcos came up with a cheap fix to get digital over their analog system so they wouldn't have to actually spend money on infrastructure and their customers are stuck with a patched and taped system.
