Do be so sure. My dads BB line is 2.5-5m down, and 400k up. The price if you have the broadband alone is cheaper than the price of my 1meg line. If you pay for TV packages, you get a discount pushing it down to $30/month. There are no bandwidth restrictions and e-mail/newsgroups work fine. That said, it does seem to go down a lot more than my NTL line (normally from like 10 mins to a few hours), although I think he has a signal strength problem. I know it isn't representative of the whole country, but he has it pretty good. Also you can have as many separate lines as you want in the same house. I don't think you can do that with NTL...
