I'll start with mine.

Lets compare the smallest ADSL package, 384k download 128k upload.
We will need some things first:

ADSL Line: 384k = €59(Per month)
ADSL ISP Subscription: 384k = €49(Per month)
ADSL Splitter(split voice from data): The first one is for free, additional fee for any extra.
ADSL Modem(USB connection requires a usb port, ethernet connection a network card at around €45): JetSpeed 500/500i €108.85 and additional €50 as an installation cost.

I guess you know math. Let's see yours now.

You must be kidding. I get cable from Comcast for that exact same monthly price.

I couldn't find any real information, just this crap:

"Scorching Speeds: Downloads faster than 768K DSL and up to 25 times faster than dial-up, and uploads up to twice as fast as DSL.* Start measuring those downloads in seconds, not minutes. And get your work done, with more time for fun."

I hate that they have tp relate speeds to download times, I just want the raw information.
