Re: Am I The Only One Frightened By Such An Idea? You must be joking.
Cable fails when the wind blows here.
Probably because most cable networks are strung cheaply (aerial), instead of underground (phone).
I suspect the same is true for most of the U.S.
Sure, cable is usually cheaper for the same broadband speed.
But you can't expect the same uptime/reliability with cable as you can with phone company's dialtone/DSL. |

Due to miserable line conditions, I had to keep getting my previous DSL connection trained down to avoid dropouts. |
