Yes it's already posted in Hot Deals but not all of you check it, just thought I'd give you a heads up. BTW before all you asshats post about how cable pwns DSL, it's also on average $20 more expensive.

I may have to switch back to Verizon now. The upload on my cable connection is capped at 128 and when uploading above 10Kb/s the line gets saturated.

Ouch, I've never heard of a cable cap at 128. But I know exactly what you mean by the saturated thing - I can't upload anything to my site without slowing everything down to an absolute crawl. :|

comcast is/was capped at 128 up too.. not sure what it is now. but dsl in our area... sucks. we JUST got it available (before was only IDSL... reeeeaalll good there..... not). I wish I could go verizon... but it's just as slow as modem. not worth saving the $10 or whatever a month.

I'm sure they do. Whether or not you're willing to pay for it the issue.

The average person doesn't pay $30 a month for cable. Maybe where you live, but the national average is somewhere around $50. Start a poll/thread on ATOT if you want confirmation of that.

I called, went through smoothly. You have to talk to the people at billing.
