I had no end of trouble with DSL (PacBell in Los Angeles area) - constantly being dropped, network problems, log-in problems, and finally went to cable about two years ago. Cable company speculated DSL problems were because - despite being in an urban area - the "central office" (which I think is a big router on a telephone pole somewhere) was too far from my house. The cable has been 99.5% invisible. I network it through a home router with Cat 5 to three desktops and WiFi to one laptop. No logging in and out, and service failures maybe 1-2 hours every few months and quickly restored. Our line is officially 3 megabit per second downloads -- in real world terms maybe 3-4 times faster than the speed you report. But, it costs more - I think the cost is about $40 a month, but it is bundled with all our other cable stuff. YMMV.
