Re: Well not shocking

Sadly, I prefer the faster metered one.

Embarq only offers 5mbps here.

I have to pay $10 more for "dry" DSL or get a POTS line

ADSL2 only offers 896k upload. Cable currently offers me 2M upload.

Wait till they start charging crazy metering fees and then it costs you over 2x what the embarq will. in this mess metering may have a boot start, but when other come along with no meter for quite a bit less the no meters will win.

The cap is 100Gig and they charge $1/Gig over.

It's 60 gig if you have a 10m connection (I have 30).

The point is that I have to choose between the lesser of two evils, not the service I want, which would be something like 50/20 FiOS.

I agree if you cannot get what u want, get the closest thing.
