I have SWBELL DSL, and for $65 a month I am getting 5 static IP's.  They
have no problem with me running my own DNS/Web/Mail, and will even change
their DNS to re-point my IP's to my DNS server for reverse lookup.  
I have talked to people that have complained that DSL is slower than cable,
but I have no problems with it.  With the service that I have, and the
undeniable fact that it is better than dialup.  I can't beat it.

Just my 2cents worth

Using cable connection to host a couple of websites
with low traffic is a great idea. I was thinking of
getting a T1 circuit to host 5 websites but I don't
think is worth it. I know the site will not have a lot
of traffic. So, the best way to doing this is by using
TWC. I wonder what they will do when they find out
people are "exploding" their service.

I still think it's a good risk though.
