Re: Hmmm...

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

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.

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

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