I just got rid of my cable modem. It was far too flaky. It's download was
great but the upload was lacking. Plus, it isn't a good multi-channel
device.

I replaced it with a (symmetrical business class) SDSL link to my house that
provides 528K and I have the option of going up to 2.3M. Somehow I got lucky
and landed within 400 ft of the main hub when I bought my last house. I have
13 fully routed static IP's and free DNS entries and web-space on a host
machine, along with email, etc. Needless to say, I soon will not be
co-locating anywhere. Nice thing about a symmetrical DSL line is your upload
is just a great as the download and is in its own channel. Under $200 USD
per month for all this is the best part.
