Cable rocks, that's what I have now. DSL is ok, but they want you to sign on for a year in most places and Qwest can blow me because they only offer deals through MSN.
Plus I don't have to have a home phone with cable, we just use our cells for everything. Cheaper and better.

I wouldnt even consider DSL if you have cable as a option. Everyone I know who got DSL, hated it and had to fight to get out of thier contracts. Cable is so much faster, I love it, its like what you want to look up on the net is built into your computer, downloading is super fast, you can download a song in under a minute, never mind files..

god damn....alot of people have horror stories with DSL.
**** that
i have Bellsouth DSL (that complete choice bullshit for $40.00 a month), and i am REALLY happy with the service and ****. I have it routed to 2 computers, and its flawless. Tweaked it, and im pimpin about 1.5mbps/sec. The only thing i dont like it the cap on the Upload, but i dont upload **** do i dont care.
My dads friend had Adelphia Cable and he didnt like it. Everyone i know down here in miami has DSL, and i havent heard much complaints. and areas that have alot of people using Cable slows down that connection, so DSL is usually better in areas where its used alot.
