After having used both DSL and cable for a number of years, I've
found cable to much more reliable. I live in the San Ffran Bay Area,
and I too pay double for cable (Comcast), what my parents pay for DSL
(sbc/yahoo). However, the reliability & speed doesn't compare
honestly. I was really impressed with cable.
My parents DSL is not as bad as yours, I don't think... but theirs
does cut out at times.
Plus Comcast is upgrading all of their subscribers free (3mbits ->
4mbits & 4mbits -> 6mbits, i think).
Plus I dont' have a land line anymore, just my cell phone - which
also saves on the local phone.

One other thing make sure you have both:
1 - Adaware (http://www.lavasoftusa.com/support/download/)
2 - Spyware - Search and Destroy (http://www.safer-
networking.org/en/download/index.html)
Network problems could *always* be spyware-related now a days without
the above.

I suspect that someone in the neighborhood is doing massive downloads
after they arrive home from work.
