Cable. From quality websites, I download anywhere from 800kb/s to 1mb/s+. Sometimes I can get 3-4mb in a split second.

All provider suck when it comes to support. Its even worse when you got a router you did not get from them and its always your side that has the problem. As for the best one I would have to say DSL cause when I had cable it lag out many times. Super slow from 5-8 pm and if any one it the block had a broken wire your connection will suck.
