And all I think this shows is that your experience with any of these
outfits may depend on where you live and where their stuff is.  I
remember the Mediacom switchover, and when they first throttled back
bandwidth.  I also remember surprisingly decent service since then,
until some glitches recently (which appear to have cleared up).  As
far as I can tell, most of the people offering these services have
begun to get pretty good at it (competition is good!) unless you're in
a spot where the DSL really doesn't go or  where they've
over-provisioned their bandwidth.  What I don't think we have seen
much of in Columbia compared to other markets is price drops.  I'm
guessing that this will happen, but who knows when?
