That's kinda my point. DSL providers push the "sharing" issue and IMO, it's a non-issue. Many cable companies have gone to fiber into the neighborhoods, which allows faster connections and more bandwidth.
>Actually, this sharing of local resources with the neighbors may or may not be an issue. While I was on cable with late Adelphia, it was fine for the first couple of months, then started getting gradually slower and occasionally getting a few dozen disconnects on weekends. They'd reply that it must have been my modem - which would always work perfectly on Monday morning without being touched at all. Yeah, right. They lasted a year - I canceled and switched to DSL.

>Now with Cox on cable for almost four years, and can't complain. It's actually fiber around the corner, and coax/copper last hundred yards. Haven't noticed any speed degradation - on the contrary, I think it's somewhat better than it was.
