I'll also note that, though the DSL service is obviously not very fast, it has had excellent uptime and consistency for me. I'm consistently able to stream HD video (1080p 30fps, 900p 60fps) without interruption. Contrast this to local cable where many people complain about poor streaming performance around peak times, despite much 'faster' service.

As much as 12-14Mbps is limiting, you genuinely get that performance nearly always.
