The problem with Cable systems and the reason I avoided it for so long is the bandwidth isn't consistant especially in a big city like NY. I would have much preferred to have Verizon Fios but it was unavailable in my area with no timeframe of when it would be available.. Fios bandwidth is steady as a rock!
