Our Livewire DSL service does not have any usage quotas, supports up to 32 IP's
and doesn't require PPPoE either.

Assuming you are in an area where we can get to you with our DSL service.

Well, as I work for GCI :} I can tell you that no matter which cable modem
package
you get, the most bandwidth you can get is 20gigs/month. The problem runs into
this
if you d/l 21gigs or higher, it will cost you an extra $20/gig. I also know
that I am
about to run into this problem myself as it's only the 19th, and I am up to 19.7
gigs :}
But a cable modem is a good thing if you are looking for a static ip as you can
have at
least up to 8 static ips for the modem. I know for a fact that it will support
up to
8 dynamic ips per modem. I hope that this will help you out some, considering I
don't
know how much per month you d/l. I do kinda wish that I had ACS's dsl service
for my
d/ling, and the cable modem for my server, but I don't have that much money :}
