Re: Screw cable

Actually, we gain NOTHING by capping your downstream speeds. We provide you with a 24/7 ATM path flowing at your sync rate, most COs are backed with multiple DS3s or OC3s depending on the area. Our dsl routers (Redbacks as most people know them)usually have multiple OC3s feeding them and we currently have a OC192 for our backbone. We have no need to cap you. We set your speed limit based on your line's physical abilities and your purchased speed tier. Our routers have more than enough bandwidth to support you as you cannot hog everyone else's bandwidth (the reason cable caps).

If you were capped on downstream it was because of your line's physical abilities. One advantage to cable is the ability to boost the signal cheaply allowing for speeds over long loops. You were probably about 12000-15000 ft out and had to be capped to 768 to keep from dropping sync.
Also we now offer the deluxe package (768-1536/256-384) for $39 as well. It boils down to variables.
