Sounds like it.

I resisted for a long time, too. The local cable company kept advertising
packages and internet-only "deals" at $44.95 (~4mbps) and $59.95 (~7mbps).
I wasn't willing to spend that much. Finally, I got another flyer and
called them. The first thing the guy offered was for $29.95, not dsl, and
I took it - didn't even want to hear the rest. Okay, so I can't watch dvd-
quality porno clips on the net - big deal. 2mbps is a helluva lot better
than 56kbps, and I am quite happy (-except with the banshee from Sydney.)
