The operative word in their sentence was "
high-speed" DSL; I conveniently left that out of my reply.
My friends with (slow) DSL are getting ~300 Kbps down; I'm getting 1.5 - 2.0 Mbps on cable.

(Just my opinion, of course. Your mileage may vary. You have the right to be wrong.)

I'm getting 1.5 - 2.0 Mbps on cable. That's about what I get at home too.
Then I bought cable access for a business. What a ripoff! They charge twice as much for the minimum business service for much less bandwidth. All they do is clamp it and try to extort more money. I told the bastards cable company to rip it out and then I got DSL. It gets about 25% of my cable speed at home at about the same cost.
