Bailing on Broadband? -- 12:47 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

I saw a link to this CNet article on several sites. They claim that more people are ditching broadband for modems. While the cost savings are somewhat obvious, there is one thing that they don't mention in the article. Many broadband providers are struggling to provide decent service and have customer support personnel who are ill-equipped to actually answer questions. I do agree that the lack of a "killer app" is a major key. For those of us who like playing online games and downloading Linux ISOs, the benefits are obvious. They aren't so obvious for the majority though.
