ya depends, sometimes DSL will be better and sometimes Cabe will. it all depends on the company and wats available.

dsl if it is available, you live in a place where there cable internet is used widely which causes occasional slowdowns, and can be cheaper.

cable if dsl is not offered in your area, and its faster than dsl if you really want to compare with no downtime.

Cable is way better than Most DSL services. Most DSL is 1.5mbps while Cable services often reach 4mbps or higher. I have Cable and my speed is 4.5mbps. I have never expirienced downtime or lag while playing multiplayer games.

That depends where you live, here we have DSL lines upto 10Mbps..... Cable, well, easily reaches over 15Mbps down-speed

I have a 2.5Mbps DSL line
