Since this thread is back from the great beyond I figured I should update it. I went back to DSL for while. Unfortunately I started having a whole bunch of issues with DSL and my Phone, so back a few months ago I switched back to Cable. For what it is worth they have been a lot more consistent (knock on wood), not always super fast but at least I stay connected now. I know they did some line work int eh area, so maybe that was the problem. We'll see how it goes from here.
