Jag: cable and DSL can promise higher download speeds than T1 under the right circumstances. One problem is that the "right circumstances" are unpredictable. All the DSL providers seem to suck horribly and your speed depends largely on how close you are to the connecting central office. It's pretty arbitrary. People seem to like their cable providers but, if the service becomes popular it's doomed, because your download speed can be ruined by someone else in your neighborhood downloading at the same time.

Din: The biggest problem is that I am alone in my household in an appreciation of real, honest tomatoes. So my capacity for being bribed with them is limited to the number I can actually eat. I'm sure we can strike a deal though!
