I have had both, and had my complaints with both. I guess its just cuz of the crappy service in my area. Overall, I like Cable better, because of the potentials. But it does get slowed down a lot. I used to be able to fly at ooh 3 in the morning. But I didnt like to do all my downloading when i was gonna be sleeping. DSL may be slower, but its consistant!

There are even some areas where dsl is a bit faster than cable.

I'm on ADSL (the most commonly used transport method) and I've got 3mbps, too.
I agree... It's all dependant on the ISP.

i have cable (we have)
it's enough to surf and download.
and we have more than 3 computers in the local network.
but if DSL is cheaper than Cable so take DSL.

Cable
1) More reliable
2) A bit faster
No debate.

Go look at DSLReports and you won't find any DSL ISPs among the speed leaders. http://www.dslreports.com/archive
OOL, of course, rocks! But you gotta live around here.
