My service is aDSL using PPPoE, but I don't use my home machine as a
web server or file server so the lack of a fixed IP address isn't
relevant. I also use an external account (leased from GoDaddy.com)
for the gdgphoto.com data store and the .Mac servers otherwise. I do
a lot of up and download.
My computers connect to the external line via 802.11b/g wireless,
even the desktop systems, so the wire connect speeds are pretty much
irrelevant. I don't have any problems with the performance at all, I
get 160KBps consistently on download and 45-60KBps on upload, which
is good enough for my needs. :-)

I upload quite a bit to an FTP server. Sometimes 200 megs at a

I believe my upload speed is identical to that Godfrey posted for
his DSL line, although my download speed is quite a bit faster. But
I'm no expert. I don't know what's available. But I do know that
for everyday use, Comcast works very well.

True dat. But cable does have a few downsides for me: 1. No fixed
IP address 2. Serious restrictions on running servers 3. VERY slow
upload speeds. But if all you're gonna do is download, download,
download, then cable is hard to beat.
