Yep it depends on how well your particular ISP runs the network.
I had Cable back when it first launched (Hartford was the 2nd city to ever have it) through @home and speeds were 10mb down AND up.
Then they capped the upload to 128K.
Then AT&T bought my cable company.
Then @Home and AT&T had thier little spat and I was without internet for nearly 2 weeks.
Then they capped my downloads to 1.5mb, but it didnt matter as speeds deterioted to that or less during peak periods.
Then I moved, and switched to DSL. Getting the same speeds (1.5m/128k) for $10 less. No brainer. If I was starting over, Id stay with the DSL, as comcast in my area is teh satan.
