i like cable up here in seattle. Not sure if you have to pay extra for second and third machines or not. I suppose it doesnt matter if youre not in Seattle anyway.
Many DSL subscriptions charge for the ISP only. You'll have to supply your telephone connection, etc from a third party. Cable is once charge, and youre done...well, you'll need to have cable to your house...!
Modems are part of your bill with cable, and are somewhere around $9 per month. I get up to 1.5 MB in Seattle. While it needs to be late at night with no neighbors online at the time, its screamin good fun. I can sometimes get up to 1M downloads even when its a busy time of night. To get DSL up here for that speed is welll over $100. I pay $45.
One more item regarding the "leased" modem. A friend started with the leased modem, then bought his own. It took him nearly a year to get AT&T to stop including that on his bill. Scary, but a reality with such a huge stupid company!
