Re: Why are people ignoring DSL? Uh, no and no, unfortunately.
AT&T provides DSL here in St. Louis, Missouri - and they ALSO provide their U-Verse service, delivering TV over IP combined with broadband, and VoIP as an option on top of it all.
I don't believe they've put a formal "cap" on anything yet, but I've heard runmblings about them wanting to do it. If Charter does it successfully, it'll be that much more motivation for them to do likewise. And yes, they'll say "Hey, if you're downloading all that video content and exceeding your usage cap, you should consider paying up for U-Verse, so we can stream your TV to you!"
Also, where I work, DSL is totally unavailable still. They never built it out to this part of the city. (I wish they did, because all we can get is a way overpriced T1 circuit to get 1.5mbit transfer rates.)

DSL doesnt have caps does it? The phone companies have no vested interest in stopping video downloads.
Everywhere can get DSL now..even my parents that live in the boonies.
