SBC offered a DSL deal MUCH cheaper than the cable company I'm now with. So I called up and told Cox Cable that I'm switching if they don't make the offer more competitive. So my $49.99 / month for 1.5 Mb Down / 256 kb Up has turned into $23.99/month for 4MB down / 512 kb Up. This deal expires in 6 months, but by then I'm sure I can find a deal somewhere, call Cox, and get hooked up again. If you are happy with your cable connection, consider doing something like that. Besides, switching is a nuisance.
