You have to stop and think about the fact when you pay $55 for Comcast Cable HSI, you are paying for the line and access. With Bell South DSL you are paying for the access. You pay for the line via your local phone bill. So you need to add your phone bill and DSL bill together to get the true cost.

I've done the numbers and BellSouth's midrange speed DSL rate is cheaper. This speed is 1.5mb/second download speed.

Comcast says it's at 4mb/second download speed which is fine but I don't need to go so fast. My high cable rates are paying for them to upgrade their system to 4mb/second. Screw 'em.

Thats fine, most internet users only surf the web and check email. This uses maybe at most 512kb/s download. The killer will always be the upload side. Even Comcasts 384kb/s stinks. But oh well.
