Cable vs. DSL

valis2One other thing.
My apartment building has always provided free cable. I pay for the cable modem, but I get Comcast basic cable for free.
No longer. They're switching to Broadstar. And they've decided not to offer basic cable for free any longer.
I know nothing about this company. I have to turn in my modem on Thursday, which is the same day that the Broadstar rep will be talking to the people in my building. My worry is that I won't be able to get a cable modem for a week--and I have lots of eBay stuff to do, so this is baaaaaad.
My choices:
*cable modem and basic cable from Broadstar (probably the most expensive solution)
*cable modem, no basic cable
*DSL from AT&T, basic cable from Broadstar
*DSL, no basic cable (cheapest)
I only have a year to go here, but I do enjoy me some basic cable, especially when I'm working. I'm trying to decide what to do. Anyone have any thoughts on Broadstar as a company? I'd be most appreciative to hear them.
