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.

Technically, you are right. However, assuming you are going to have a telephone line that you pay for anyway, you only have to add the DSL cost to your phone bill. My DSL is about $32 on top of my regular phone bill.

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.
