Quest DSL $39 for 1.5 megabit
Comcast HSI $42 for 6 megabit

Now I am not a cable fanboy but for the money cable is still the best deal.

Besides I still can not get DSL but two blocks away can?
Yes this is the way to compare services on a dollar per mbps. Using your data:

Quest DSL is $26 per mbps.
Comcast HSI is $7 per mbps.

I pay $110 for a 6mbps /28 DSL static account with ATT:
Static DSL is 18.33 per mbps.

DSL is way too expensive.

Re: Hmmm...

How much is static IP service with Comcast? The last time I checked it was $150/mo and you still had the restrictive TOS.

Yes, this is why I'm still with SBC.

Re: Hmmm...

Right, which means you're making an unfair comparison. Compare dynamic Comcast with dynamic SBC Expert Plus.

You cannot compare a static IP account with a non-static IP account. They are two different things.

Re: Hmmm...

Why can't you compare static to dynamic? They are the same cost here. aDSL vs. sDSL I would agree are different.
