same price as my old dedicated 64K connection. About $175 plus
tax. A lot more expensive than cable.... but worth it for what
I need it for. Non business accounts with single IP Addresses
are like $120 for a 768K connection. If I was just a web 
surfer... I couldn't justify that -vs- a cable modem, but I'm 
not just a web surfer. When cable modems comes to my area, I may 
even get one of those to use for my net surfin stuff..... but the
original question was something like "Why would anyone want ADSL 
if they could have a cable modem?" I'm not saying that ADSL is 
always better than a cable modem... just that it's better if you
want to do something besides surfin.
