Comparing DSL to Cable really isn't fair as a general statement. For example, nowhere does that article talk about my cable provider, and I have heard no rumors of them moving to metered service any time soon. (I know a few install techs). DSL here is decent, but price gouging and oudated technology thanks to Qwest make it one of the worst choices here. They still can't figure out how to send digital internet signals over digital phone line networks.
