Re: Great Interview Karl
My Comcast service is very stable. As is everyone's who I know.
As for price, I've made numerous posts here at BBR stating my position being I think that whether it's DSL we're talking about or cable, I think both represent an outstanding value compared to where things used to be.

My point regarding price is in response to others who attempt to continually point out DSL as being the "cheaper" alternative. The chevy if you will, versus the BMW or Lexus.

They certainly have one thing right. Cable is, for the most part..the lexus compared to most dsl plans.

But that isn't true in terms of price many times. More and more, it's about how these services are packaged that determine the real price.

A 1.5Mb DSL plan for 20.00 that comes with a requirement that one must take a phone line in order to get it is NOT the cheaper alternative to a cable customer who pays 42.95 month for 20Mb powerboost speeds and who doesn't want that landline.

In fact, anyway you look at that scenario..it's the DSL plan that is expensive.

And so, why pay BMW prices for that chevy, eh?
