>>> DSL is not available here, and I'm not going to waste money on cable.
>>
>>That used to be my attitude, too. But then cable got really, really cheap.
>>I pay under C$90/month for unlimited North American phone service *and*
>>business-grade Internet with one static IP. We paid nearly double that
>>when we used POTS and DSL.
>>
>>What the cable companies *really* want to do is sell you television. If
>>you don't do TV (as I do not), you can get the other services fairly
>>cheap, thanks to neighbours who are paying up to $300/month for "premium
>>channels"
>>and other crap.
>>
>>Of course, if DSL is not available where you are, that may be why cable
>>is expensive. You may find that you're just beyond 11,000 feet from a
>>switch, and that others in your area can get DSL, in which case, I'd
>>imagine that cable would be competitive.
