It's (almost) all about the money, or lack there of!  I don't really 
require 100% uptime.  Think about this: some people enjoy power outages 
at night when they can light a candle and spend time with other people.  
And I don't mind a longer wait (768k) because I don't constantly 
download ISOs and such.

Cable: $43.00
DSL: $30

I could use that extra $13.00.  Also, if I'm not mistaken, after 30 days 
I could go back to Comcast and take advantage of their latest deal.  The 
deal I originally took was six months at $20 per month plus a free cable 
modem.  Comcast still offers three months at $20 I believe.
