Time Warner Cable sucks (or is it Earthlink?)

[davidfcooper]

We seem to be having outages every 2 weeks. This time the TV signal is fine, but our cable modem is out. We have a service appointment in Tuesday, and unless service is restored before then we'll have to use our Earthlink dial-up (Earthlink gives us 23 hours a month of dial-up to use as a back up should their cable internet service fail). I expect to be on-line a tad less in the interim.

We're seriously considering switching to DSL & getting a dish for TV. The whole point of paying a premium for cable is more reliable service (though cable broadband is faster than DSL, and cable TV offers In Demand programs not contingent on an arbitrary schedule).

I read all that stats saying cable is faster than dsl, but I really dont see any difference. Verizon has had 6 partial days out in 1 1/2 years for a comparision.
