That's amazing that in the right area, LTE can give speeds exceeding the
maximum AT&T would offer for DSL, which would be 18 mbps down at my
location. I have thought about saving the money and getting that for
Internet instead of cable, but nobody could tell me how the building
intercom system is likely to affect the speed or servicability of it. In the
building I live in, when someone rings from downstairs, it rings a phone I
have hooked to an otherwise inactive line, so I have a suspicion that those
type of men in the middle systems would either not pass data well, or would
knock me offline when a visitor rings.

Good suggestion although mobile broadband in the US is much faster than DSL.
Most DSL is provided by the big incumbent carriers and at speeds like 1.5 or
6 megabits down and 768K or even 384K up. LTE over here gets you 15 down
and 5 up pretty consistently and believe it or not I’ve bursted over 150
megabits before but near the city center where capacity is plenty.
Not a bad suggestion though but might be really really slow.

What about DSL? If it’s the principle and the caps are all that’s in the
way of going totally mobile, you won’t mind the reduced speeds of DSL.
You could then also go with a business package that gave you better
contention, and not be treated like dirt on cable with many of the
throttles that cable ISPs do. You could also run servers or do exhaustive
nightly backups and other things that you probably can’t now because your
upstream is capped or protocols prohibited, etc.
Cable does run very sweet with Apple AirPort, though.
Just a thought.
