DSL companies are a lot more friendly towards this. Of course residential
DSL connections are a lot of more expensive than cable. I find that a 6 meg
DSL connection where I live costs a lot more than Comcast cable modem.
6 meg service, with a static address costs $94.95 a month from
The New AT&T, where Comcast, which rates in excess of 10 megabits
are about $50 a month.
