Most of us use more bandwidth than we used to. This bandwidth and the hardware serving it has to be paid for. The broadband market is very competitive at retail level so all operators stash price increases elsewhere if at all possible.
The obvious solution to this is to look elsewhere if unhappy.

Bad experience and not typical. Stability is the one thing I found ADSL superior to cable for. Every time I've had cable I've had at least a few days a year of downtime. ADSL my downtime per year was measured as a matter of hours. At one time I cancelled 50Mb VM and moved to 15Mb ADSL as VM was flaky.
YMMV. xDSL is actually fundamentally a more stable technology than cable as it can adapt to line conditions and impairments. Both are hosed however if the access network is very bad.
