Broadband's bargain hunt | CNET News.com: "After five years as a cable modem subscriber, Sushim Mandal is considering switching his broadband connection to a new Verizon Communications service called Fios, which extends a high-speed fiber network directly to consumers' homes.
Mandal, an engineer at Intel, said he's tired of paying a $50 monthly subscription for his cable modem service when on most days he gets only about half the bandwidth for which he is paying. Since cable networks share capacity, heavy usage can diminish overall network performance and cut into the bandwidth of customers like Mandal."
