I was about to say something like that, but you beat me to it, Ron. :)
Whilst the bandwidth usage issue will be an undying theatre of opinions,
I just hope that highspeed access doesn't gets "metered". Just think of
the logs, people complaining that they didn't use all that bandwidth,
etc. The low price of access will definitely go bye-bye with the
overhead to administer that mess.

Another reason I'm pondering the DSL route is for adjustable bandwidth
(pay more, get more). I don't know if Cox does that or not.
