I spent many happy years on Comcast, during which time they offered $25 dollar specials every so often, but it always creeped back up to $40. Bellsouth adsl seems to be no different in quality and service. I think they are all quite aware of the 'going price', and do not intend to kill that goose, at least not down here. Thanks, Harold

It's simple, A DSL provider like speakeasy offers much more to a technical user like myself than Comcast does, plus they have an incentive to keep me happy, if i'm not i can leave and go with a competitor, comcast does, and has on many occasions, simply told me to go f*ck myself when i have service issues. (Sorry your modem died sir, the next we can get a tech out to your place is 2 weeks, when i don't need a tech I know what it means when a modem has a failure code). The fact is, DSL is a competitive market, Cable is not, competitive markets keep customers happy, monopolies anger people.
