Please don't forget moisture content. DSL speeds may drop during wet winters because cable pits fill with water. :) Those with real statistics, please stand up. I know ISPs who run large DSL infrastructures have these stats. I've even seen them at conferences. :) Adrian
Me! During the rainy season of recent past years, the cable vault in front of my home would flood, thereby degrading or completely hosing DSL service. Haven't had heavy rains for a couple years so no trouble.
I had to replace my DSL modem about 6 months ago because the previous Westell Wirespeed modem had died very slowly. My speed went from 1.5M to less than 200k and was flaky. The new modem gives me a clean 3M/768k connection. Not bad for DSL ($35/month). But that wasn't weather related. Verizon.
