I am considering switching from 1.5Mbps dsl to a Comcast service, most likely 8Mb. I have always felt sorry for people on cable, because practically every single person (even in my remote area) has had problems with connection speed, stability of speed, stability of connection, etc. Is this mainly an area-specific phenomenon? Is it universal to cable in general? My current ISP (TDS) does not seem to oversell thier backbone too much, and though 1.5 Mbps is somewhat slow, I have never gotten actual throughput anything less than that. For years I have been telling people to stay away from cable, but was that really right? I do know a few people who live in even more remote areas, and they love cable because of the massive throughput. I always assumed that noboy in any populated area would ever get anything close to what was offered during peak hours, but would like to find out your experiences with the service.
Thanks
