Different timeframe.  I was running cable with initially 10M down, and later,
30M down (IIRC), at a time when DSL here was limited to 1.5M/256k by the
telcos.  Hopefully I'll be able to get 100/40M Internet in the near future when
the net infrasture is completed here.  My area is currently under construction.
 Then it's just a phone call or web request to the ISP to get my account
switched over to the new infrastructure.

I've had native for over 5 years now. :)  FOr the first couple, I had
reasonable speeds too, up to 20/1M (DSL was excellent at our previous house).
