My DSL (SBC Communications) actually IS 'faster than' cable. I've side by side comparison tested it with a Cable hookup (which I had on a free trial audition from Comcast). My DSL-Pro level service ($39) has been tested & confirmed equivilent to T1 speed, perhaps because I have a static IP (grandfathered in because one of the first DSL subscribers in my area), and because I'm located VERY CLOSE to a DSL switching station. - Scott 
Scott maybe in your area on the west coast but around here North east Cable is definitly much faster then DSL by far. No dial up always online etc etc ..
