Also, there are no speed caps by law on cable yet, like there is on DSL. This mite just be in my area though.
I know DSL is shared, but with cable, if someone is downloading a lot, then it affects everyone. That is why DSL has 1.5mb caps, that way everyone always has a reserved amount of bandwidth.

I like that DSL is capped at 1.5 or even 2.5 on some. It keeps the speeds smooth.
