Any chance that any broadband woes might be related to corporate downsizing 
in telecom companies?  I think so.  Declining profits yields declining 
service.

I was going to switch from DSL to Cable to save $60/year.   It sounds like it 
still might be a good switch for the me (the only guy on the planet that buys 
on price alone - if it's cheaper, I'll make it work, dammit).  Most of my 
email accounts are hosted off-ISP.

I've been following the "I do my own mail server" threads with interest.  Can 
someone describe the technology in 3 or 4 sentences?  Do you rely on having a 
static IP address or a near static address?  With DSL, my IP address changes 
about every 1.75 weeks because I need to do a power off reset on the modem.

TIA,
