Yeah, it's only Comcast's Cable internet that gets throttled, DSL doesn't. I know people who have Verizon DSL and no complaints, but then again, they probably don't BT as often as me.
If my town would get rid of a pointless bylaw that prohibits Verizon FiOS from installing new fiber-optic lines without paying rent on the wires, then I'd certainly switch to Verizon. You'd think that in the very technologically advanced part of the country I live in (eastern Massachusetts), that we don't live by the good ol' boy system, but we do. Even when it's the same town that the NE Patriots play in.........
