correct me if i am wrong, but cable companies have traditionally provided the set top box, but normal modem equipment the consumer has purchased. do most cable companies provide the cable modem, or do you need to purchase it yourself?

although cable modems supply more bandwith, dsl solution i believe will win out because consumers foot the bill for the equipment on their end, thus lessening the capital required for the rbocs to rollout a dsl technology.

i hope the cable and phone companies lock in mortal battle and lower the prices to consumers.
