| saDSL I think they need to start thinking about their futures in the teleco industry.
Cable is getting faster, and DSL is still trying to force the bundle.
I'd love to get stand alone DSL, if the cost is right, here, and I guess I can in GA. I'm moving soon too

| Cable is shared medium. They can say 3mb, but damn at 4pm when the kids all get home from school, you can kiss THAT goodbye.
Also, shared media are much more easily hackable, so you'd better ensure that you have a good firewall. And even that won't stop someone from capturing packets on the wire (and don't tell me DOCSIS stops this - its a software protocol implemented with hardware... all someone has to do is hack a modem to make it promiscuous...)
I'm staying with DSL.
However, Mr. Anthony Clark at Bell South just told me today that the only way I can keep my telephone number is to find a carrier that resells Bell South DSL... and I'm in a Bell South IFITL neighborhood (fiber to the curb)... So, unless I can get the PSC involved per their ruiling, I'm hosed.
I'm stuck paying $16.00 more per month for phone service than I would have to with an alternate carrier...
