You're right of course, but they won't get *my* money unless they can 
provide the service i want, which includes a sizeable chunk of download 
and upload bandwidth.   Luckily, many DSL providers are more than
happy to undercut and out service the cable companies today.

It's easy to be jealous of the Japanese though who are so far ahead of 
us, having much greater penetration of fiber to the home with 100Mbit 
download _and_ upload speeds for little more than we pay for a rate 
limited cable connection here.
