If cable modem access is available in your area then there is really no valid reason not to have it, even if it is more expensive.

The only question remaining is... are you a surfer or is this a business for you?
Replying to this again... this is a business for me, which is why I have the 56k modem as a backup (it's connected permanently to another ISP regardless of the status of the DSL). Obviously this setup costs more since I have two separate accounts. The redundancy does mean that instead of losing connectivity completely I've been able to maintain it in a more limited capacity. It's not practical for me to review/add galleries or trades at the moment since it's so slow, but I can still SSH into my servers, or view stats, etc.

Oh yeah, and waste time starting this thread.
