Well here in Toronto anyways Cable is 2 - 10 Mbps compared to 1.5 that DSL gives you. And if you can uncap your cable modem without them cable company finding out...tsk tsk,
I mildly dislike the power company (the only utility that we can't pay over the phone).
I absolutely despise the cable company (who we still owe according to them for cable TV we never got for the last 5 years).
I think the phone company (the only DSL provider in the area now) is run by Satan himself.
I wish I could dialup through something more reliable, say the gas line. It's always running, even in summer... Good thing our plumbing is backed up so if our house explodes, it'll be a lot of water.
