i think it just might be too premature to expect this to happen on a large scale. i think both DSL and cable are a bit inexact at this point, given the number of times we get outages on both networks.

I switched to cable from DSL for this reason (and the fact that my DSL speed varied from good to barely better than dial-up). Charter, my cable provider, has “naked” service… and it’s cheaper and faster than SBCs.

I came out of DSL for the same reason. Actually they are lying, there will be people like me who will move back to DSL from cable if they provide naked DSL.

I am using just roadrunner now for my broadband connection without any cable.
