I have trouble seeing the difference, when it comes to residential 
packages, and the speed offered by them.

I've had friends at all ends of the spectrum. Some swear by ADSL, others 
by cable. Some feel cable/ADSL is the bane of their existence.

I worry more about what I can and can't do with my connection, and that 
normally boils down to usage policies.

I personally use Atlantic Nexus ADSL. Their usage policies as I can find 
published on their website are basically "dont spam."
