No DSL for me, I've got fiber :(

[HumanShell]

New house, previous owner had a T1. Can't get DSL on a fiber line, can't afford a T1, so I guess I'll have to go with cable. Man, and my DSL was only $34.99 for 1.5mbps/128kbps

Dude, that will kick DSL's ass.

Cable is pretty good..

The cable is gonna cost me $42.95/month for 1.5mbps/256kbps. I just hope there isn't gonna be tons of slow-down on the line.

For gaming ADSL kicks cables ass.

I get 1.5/500+ for less than cable ($37 cdn)

damn canadians with their cheap ass internet service.

Cable > DSL any day.

1.5 is a nice downstream speed but its that 128 up that will kick you ass. Cable always has at least 384 upstream which is plenty.

Cable reems DSL in every way. I can't tell people this enough.

cable's great as long as everyone else in the neighbourhood isn't on at the same time.

I have had both.

In Jan I flipped from cable to ADSL and it kicks cables ass so bad its not even funny.

My rates fluxuated so wildly on cable that I couldn't game at all. Now I can game all the time with my dedicated line.

Cable CAN be faster of you are close to a node and its relatively unused, but if you aren't then it realy sucks.

Cable kicks DSL's ass down the street and back.

My DSL is doing good 4 me. I pay $45 and usually have 1.1mbps down/220mbps up. My cable options here cost $50 and I'm not sure how much better or worse it'd be. Plus I'm getting free cable. I don't need the cable man knocking on my door.

Damn straight, my cable is $39.99 a month and I get easily 3-4Mbps down and 300-400 Kbps up.................late night, I've had no problems getting 6-7Mbps consistently on downloads

So far the highest I peaked at was about 9MB for about 5 seconds using Download Accelerator................now that's fuckin fast, almost Ethernet speed.
