Cancelled NTL today, so in about 2 weeks I'll start to make a move to ADSL

Cable modem service at mid grade here is 7 Mb/s.

High end service is full on 10Mb/s.

Low pings all around!

Good luck getting more than 1.5Mb/s from ADSL, and they also have
high ping/hop issues for gamers. I was VERY dissatisfied.

Theoretically (according to the PR blurb from NTL) I'm getting 4Mb/s.
What this means in practice is that I get 4Mb/s for about 10 seconds, then nothing for 5 or 6, then it starts up and closes down at what appears to be random intervals. Ruins Skype, games, pageloading etc etc
