It's tough to go back. Even during times when I'm trying to save money, it would be tough to drop the service and go back to dialup.
Another thing I like about all broadband services is your land line phone remains free for incoming calls. This is nice because I don't always remember to have my cellphone handy.

guess that is to prevent users from operating servers at home.
to get higher dsl speeds, you have to pay more than what you are paying. heck theyh may bump you to their commercial dsl account...

anyhow, i've had the full 1.5M, 700kbps, as well as 384kbps with the three dsl accounts i've had. you're not "locked" into the speed they give you unless that is the maximum stable throughput.

Yah sbc dsl blows 
It's fast when it's connected, I get about 1.1 mbps. But the problem is that I can never sustain a constant line. That is, I always get dropped I use a third party router and it lags me, but I get dropped quite a bit as well. It gets really fustrating when playing multiplayer online games and you suddenly get dropped and lose all of your experience points. 
When I play games online, I disconnect the router and use the modem itself, but I still get dropped or can't connect at least 2 times everyday.

[edit] have you contacted SBC? They might have you on a bad line card.

I get a sustained 1.4 dl speed. the quality of the service depends on the subscription. If your running PPPOE that SBC DSL sucks... I have a static IP and have no problems except when the power goes out. (router is not on the UPS)
oops... lemme clarify...
384 d/l is the GUARANTEED speed by sbc.
anything higher is a bonus....
it should not drop below that. otherwise, start calling your customer service rep...
