I would hardly call cable a "brute force" method.
I would - digging the road up and planting cables looks pretty 'brute force' to me! :lol:
Also, using a decent cable for the connection is pretty 'brute force', instead of being technical and squeezing ADSL down a pair of 19th century copper wires!.
To further support the 'brute force' theory, here's one of my famous analogies 8).
Two people are trying to deliver a parcel to a house, Mr ADSL and Mr Cable
Mr ADSL gets to the door and finds the letter box is to small for the parcel, so he cleverly manipulates the parcel, squeezing it thinner and thinner until he can push it through (where it 'magically' springs back to it's original shape and size).
Mr Cable, faced with the same problem nips across the road, borrows a large Caterpillar digger from a building site and rips the entire front of the house out - he then throws the parcel through the resulting 'hole'.
