Not really if you consider the price of cable itself today and from what I
understand you can't get:

A) DSL service *without* a phone landline package
B) Cable modem service *without* a cable package

Am I wrong?  If so the cost of a cable modem outweighs DSL by @ least 1/3.
Plus it is *shared* not *dedicated* so alot of people on the same loop can
saturate your bandwidth ...
