Verizon DSL served me well for about 7 years - I can count my service interruptions for that period on one hand (not including stuck linksys routers - happened about 8-10 times in same period).

Telcos know uptime, Cable Companies know billing. (Comcast chages me $4.65/mo for my digital cable box, and another $0.15/mo for the remote)...

Just one data point, YMMV... (obviously)
