Southy said:between Cable or DSL...... DSL wins hands down.... Cable sucks big time, its alright if you cant get nothing better but otherwise its slow.
If I had the choice, I would go Fiberoptic line as well
How is Cable slow? In most residential areas Cable is much faster than DSL, and is much more reliable.
56 = cheap, but too slow for practical use.
DSL = in my experiences, very un-reliable, decent speeds, overpriced
Cable = expensive, but fast and very reliable
Satellite = reliability issues, WAY expensive
Overall I choose Cable. DSL can be decent if you have a reliable connection...but for a couple more bucks a month I'm gettin 2X the speed with Cable, and no reliability issues.
