I got a cable modem 18 months ago; they promised me 10 Mbit both ways, but it is only 3 mbit each way. My connection stalls some 5-10 times a day, between 5 seconds and 10 minutes each time. When this happens I lose buffers in editor. This is what they call 98% uptime. Now I am thinking of going back to modem, because I find myself doing mostly email and typing anyway. I can live without the ad-banners (well, the Netscape junk-buster plugin takes care of that too). The thing about phone line, the connection works 99.9% of the time, or something.
