When DSL gets ANYwhere near 8 mbps for $40/month I'll consider it as
that's what it would take to be competitive with the cable I have.

DSL runs copper to your house or installs switches in CO all over the
city. So you'll need an alternate path to get redundancy and that
would be cable as much as I hate to say it.

misnomer. You do get a private line back to the CO which is only a
maximum of 15,000' or so from your house. From there you share
bandwidth with a whole bunch of users and that can certainly cause
major slowdowns. I have cable and tried to switch to DSL for the
upload bandwidth. With DSL installed I checked speeds and was
consistently getting only 300-700 kbps downstream with occasional
blips to 1MB and as low as 175 Kbps. I had Qwest come out and clean
the line back to the CO. The tech verified it was clean andt I should
be getting 1.5 Mbps as advertised. There was no change in performance
due to the shared line from the CO back to the Internet. On the other
hand, the upload was always 700-900 Kbps which only serves to prove
the down link is shared bandwidth.

bandwidth issue *if* they're a large & reputable ISP. If you cannot
collect your mail from your local ISP, then could be a mail server
problem their end. Have you raised this issue with them? But first
thing I would be checking is your computer for trojans, virus etc,
especially if you've been compromised & you are now in fact acting as
a relay. This will max out your upload bandwidth, which in turn will
crucify your download capabilities.
