Multiple broadband services OK 1941

Please tell me what planet you are living on?

I just checked, and there is no cable service anywhere in the US providing 8MB downloads. And you had the option of getting a faster tier on your DSL.

Here's where your logic falls apart...

With DSL, you get your bandwidth 24 7. I currently have 3MB, and because I live only a couple of hundred feet from the switch, I actually get faster. I get it all day, all night, every day.

Your cable fluctuates wildly during the day. It is much slower during the peak hours. Your service is also capped, so that the cable company can have the max number of subscribers.

Currently, the fastest cable service offered is 6MB *AT THE FRONT END*. After accounting for overhead, the uplink channel, and the number of subscribers, you will only get about 4 to 4.5 MB at max, and that is only if you are running uncapped. You are paying for a service which you are not getting. But you just go ahead and continue to sing the virtues of cable.

Here is another thought...when the power goes out...so does your cable. When the power goes out, I still have my phone line and internet access.
