What do you prefer DSL or Cable for your high speed internet connection?

 

[dahamn]

I've had both, dsl is cheaper in my area, cable seemed to be a little faster. I have dsl now.

Because cable speed depends on the # of users (more users = slower)
While with DSL the speed is constant

Cable. hands down

Cable is still fast with a lot of users - I wouldnt buy into the DSL propaganda machine.

We've had cable at my house in CA since 96 - its been excellent.

i can still manage to rub one out to a still photo so whatever works

DSL is faster depending on how far you are away from the source. At my last palce I was less than 1 mile from the source so it was very fast. I have cable now and it seems OK, maybe not too many other users here btu I'll probably switch to DSL once the introductory $19.99 per month price goes back up to $56

I have cable, we;'ve had it for the last 4 years or so and its been really nice. I think DSL is like $32 a month around here, while cable is $50. But my parents are paying, so meh... I dont care.

plus you gotta love the 500 k/byte (yes byte i said) download rates regularly. Comcast never gets saturated it seems. its pure bliss.

Cable now, but I'd go with whatever is cheaper.

Based on the above explanations then I think DSL is more consistent and preferrable.

 

[manny78]

I had bothand I prefer cable right now.

even at peak capacity cable operates just as fast if not faster than DSL

 

[anthrax]

I've never had to complain about my DSL line but I've a couple of friends who can DL much faster w/ cable

never gets saturated my ass....lol....I guess it's prolly cuz where I live, a very densely populated area of apts, frathouses, etc....everyone and their mom has comcast modems, most places have 3-6 users running off one modem. it's very frustrating, especially for a gamer

If I had cable TV I'd get cable, but since I have satellite, I have DSL. You need a basic cable setup to get cable access.

Over here they charge $90/month for a package of Cable access/unlimited phone use to anywhere/cable TV. Can't beat that.
