Donny: Never say Never! 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 ..

Donny.....down here we have them both and cable has been nothing but problems...to much down time and not as fast as dsl...I am guessing that it all depends on your local provider....I think you are lucky you have what you have....I remember Brick Town
and I remember that the cable wasn't the best
in Ocean County back in the 70 and early 80's....

Actually, that's not entirely true...Cable modems are subject to usage contention. Meaning the more people that use the system, the more the system degrades. DSL does not have this problem since it's point to point packets to a switch.

I think kbrkr is right regarding "usage contention". I think I have heard this complaint from a few relatives who have cable internet. My DSL line is quite fast.

It's the same set up with DSL. Your phone line is never busy and you can talk on the phone while surfing the web, and you're always online. I love this set up. I'm going nuts watching how fast large files actually load up. I feel like I'm back in my old college dorm with the schools ethernet system. Boy that was fast too.
