In my area internet with Comcast is $87 a month, AT&T DSL Lite is $20
a month. DSL gives you a private connection, cable internet is shared
with everyone in your neighborhood.

DSL is shared with everyone in the neighborhood (Telco CO or RT) as
well. Cable is normally considerably higher data rate than DSL as well.

That's what you hear in DSL ads. It's true, but incomplete. The
internet itself is shared.
