In my area, the cable provider is the only one that offers somewhat fast speeds. Whenever they overcharge me and I spend hours sorting it out (this has happened a few times) with them I wish I could switch, but DSL is just not fast enough for working remotely.

I don't have other options for all my other utilities, but so far they have overcharged me and screwed things up royally exactly zero times.

The FCC just raised its minimum definition of broadband, so that DSL probably doesn't even qualify anymore. As if it should have before.

The cable company's Internet service may not either.
