The max where I live from. ADSL is 0.5Mbps. Most people I know have ADSL and the most any of them get is 1Mbps. Most would like cable but are either not in a cabled area (new housing estate)or cable is so popular that the cabs are exhausted/full and can't provide any more connections 'till someone disconnects. (and non of us live in the middle of nowhere!). As far as I am concerned, even being limited to half speed for several hours (10 down to 5Mbps) is still 5 to 10 times more than they/I can get from ADSL.
