What will stop the DSL providers from providing true 8 mbit dsl at a competitive price?

You might get that rate if you live 100' from the CO.

In my area (Salt Lake City) 256k DSL is the norm. I've checked al the local ISP's about getting a 512k DSL connection but they all charge you for a business account so the breakdown would be $65 for the US West DSL line and another $40 for a local ISP business account, yeah that is real competitive with @Home. I've lost my @Home account because of moving, hope to get it soon at the new place and I'm trying to put off a DSL line. Just don't know how long I can handle dial up after having @Home for months :-(.

If you have access to both DSL and Cable I can't see why anyone would go for DSL. The DSL guys (including the ISP's) keep spouting off about the shared cable network slowing down, well I never saw it and if anything it got faster!
