I am talking in terms of business, and Cable is not availiable for business here in NH. Also, if you are running over 8 phone lines and are paying for webspace a T1 starts to look better in price and reliablility. I don't disagree with DSL, but if I were paying for say 512K DSL and it consistantly didn't run at that rate I would ask for a refund and a reason why. The $50 DSL is only available for resisdential. A business here would expect to pay $150 for ~384K SDSL, ~$110 for IDSL where SDSL is not available do to fiber or distance. I have very little experince with Cable recently. I was one of the first beta testers in my area 3 years ago, but it was only pull not push/pull with a 56K uplink. As more people got on the line after 5pm it slowed tremendously.
