I have a great cable co here in town - a bit pricy, but great service and phone help (what few times I've needed them, very quick response and actual repair times) - I have heard some horror stories elsewhere (SC,CT)

 DSL is dirt cheap compare to cable. Cable is blazing fast! Cable modem has solved security issues long time ago. I use comcast, they usually run introductory special. Switch everytime DSL or Cable special runs out if you want to save some money.

What is nice, too, is the competition from DSL in my area keeps the cable company on their toes. I went outside one day, and found the cable guy messing with some wiring in their box at the roadside. I jokingly said, "You increasing the speed of my cable?" He said, "Yes, I am." He then told me all about it. No increase in cost, either. It was all being done to counter the phone company's latest DSL push.
Got to love competition!

iop, I have Comcast cable and just downloaded a 21MB file at 1.51MB/sec. It is a bit pricey, $43/month for cable TV customers and I think $53 or something like that for non-customers. I have not had any problems with either the TV or internet service. It's been down maybe twice for about 2 hours each in the 3 or 4 years that I've had it.

I have had SBC DSL for about 4 years and they only charge me 21.99/month to keep me from going to cable. Never had a problem with it

Had DSL for years, had to switch to cable when the DSL reliability turned to sh*t.
