RE: ADSL vs Cable

houseroom.

Had cable (Telewest) over two years at two addresses; I'm very happy 
with the picture quality - except where the original broadcaster has 
mucked it up by using something like 'film effect'. BBC 1 does this 
sometimes, and I usually phone and register my complaint.

I've certainly not seen better pictures on anyone's Sky setup.

Since most of the world is still 4:3, Formula 1 is still not widescreen
anyway.

As others have said, TW customer service sucks; but like most 
'utilities' (certainly having dealt with gas, water and electric 
recently) the difference between CS and the guys who actually do the 
groundwork is enormous. TW's installation people were brilliant both 
times - I made a point of praising them on the form you have to sign 
when the job's finished.

My cable modem service is also fine - no complaints there!
