ooh good, even more regions with wildly incompatible cable services all
pretending to be one company :(

So would all users, but it won't happen ;)

Not at all surprising, why would a home user need lots of upload bandwidth?

SDSL is also largely an LLU thing at this stage, as are some of the
ADSL-like services (e.g. Bulldog). We have a 1mb sdsl line at work and it's
really quite expensive unfortunately.
Distance from the exchange isn't a factor if you live in a sensible place :)

The cable people aren't ISPs, they're just giving you a pipe and making you
use their proxy. I would rather have a quality internet connection than a
massively contented "fast" one :)
