America abandoning DSL in favour of faster cable

In preparation for U-Verse
Last year when I moved onto my rural hilltop in the Santa Cruz mountains AT&T delivered 1.5Mbps/384kbps via DSL. I won't deal with Comcast. As is my practice, I call every year to see if anything has changed since they won't contact you. I was nicely surprised to hear that "in preparation for U-verse" a fiber connected "tan box" is now somewhere up on the mountain close enough to deliver 12Mbps/3Mbps. Not super zippy, but my expectations living a mile up a one lane road weren't that high and I'm happy... for now. It gets installed next week
