You think eh? How diplomatic. No, you are right GD has them quite reversed.
With DSL your actual distance from a switching sub station is the main issue & at the edges of coverage the signal gets more and more unreliable untill they can't garantee faster speeds.
Oh were I to have a phone company switch close enough to my place to provide decent bandwith I would be all over it. But alas they have had my area listed as DSL "comming soon" for as long as I can remember bah!
Before the TimeWarner takeover I couldn't complain much about my cable internet service. It has in the past provided decen't speeds and whenever they did have slowdowns associated with more subscribers they would add another node to handle traffic beter. Now that they have merged yet again what do I get but additonal bandwith caps, crappy peak hour speeds and daily outtages etc. etc.
Screw you Time Warner I want to be rid of your shamefully poor service and roast your crap partner that freaking roadrunner this thanksgiving.
