An important point to note here is the difference between a bug and
a misfeature.

What many users see as a bug or shortcoming is "correct operation" for
Debian.  AFAICT, nVidia needs to change their code's license before it
can be a standard, endorsed part of Debian.

I'm also very happy with Charter's 3Mb/256Kb svc.  So far they haven't
gotten carried away with port-blocking, and I'm getting consitently high
txfr rates with very low latency.  Also, the 256Kb upstream (up from
128Kb previously) makes the switch from my 1.5Mb/384Kb DSL service a bit
smoother.

I for one see much good in the healthy and vicious competition of DSL
and Cable ISPs.  And my wallet agrees with me. :-)
