OK. If this message has been posted before, I apologize. I am trying to determine the exact cost/performance between cable and DSL. Both of these services are going to be available pretty soon in my area, and I am thinking about getting one of them (this is for home). I have used DSL, but never used cable. I did not see a bill, nor did I see final startup costs. What were your startup costs and what is your monthly bill? Also, what kind of transfer rates do you get with each?
