Default DSL vs. CABLE

I will be getting cable next Friday, doing the package with my land line, computer and cable television

What do you all have or prefer?

Not sure if this is posted in the right place? Mods feel free to move if needed, thanks.

DSL has served me well, but the provider is absolutely HORRIBLE. It's mainly your provider that makes a difference...

DSL FTW, unlike cable it doesn't slow down and lag up when other people on your street start downloading.
