DSL vs. CABLE

[computer stupid]

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.

I prefer DSL but my roomate has Time Warner Cable so that means I do too.

Cable FTW.

 

[Jesse]

Cable owns DSL

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

dsl is nice but verizon has possibly the worst service on this earth.

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

Like said above depends on the company, verizon sucks and so does bell, i prefer cable even if my shitty lines are lagging me

i dl at about 1mb on cable. cant complain.

 

[MrRandom]

i also find that with dsl my phone line had a bit of static and didnt sound that great

 

[Instinct5]

ya mine had that but with your modem should come a spitter of some sort to fix that. When i hang up my phone it has a high pitch noise but only on this ohine in my computer room it is wierd and annoying lol

i dl at about 1mb on cable. cant complain.

[chupacabra]

LMAO, that isn't cable what you have then, probably dsl from verizon

 

[Instinct5]

i already said i have dsl.. and its from bell

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.
