Survey: Broadband Prices Up, DSL Down

NEW YORK - The price gap between cable broadband service and phone carriers' digital subscriber lines widened to an all-time high in August, according to a survey by SG Cowen.

Cable-modem service was, on average, 75.8 percent more expensive than DSL during the month, up from a 53.3 percent gap in July. While phone carriers cut prices — the average DSL price decreased by 9.2 percent — cable companies raised them.

I have dsl because cable is not available at my address. I have the upgrade dsl which is 3megs d/l but the cable connection in this area was recently increased from 4megs to 6megs. It now is twice the speed and due to price changes it is also twice as much per month. :wha':
