I am not a tech purist (no holy wars in my house re Microsoft Vs. Mac – we have both) however, I have to say I think cable beats DSL hands down in almost all the high speed ISP Provider categories. I have DSL at our small sales office where I work and Cable modem at hoe. Cable is much cheaper per month (speeds being equal.) I know one of the knocks against cable is that you share the bandwidth with your neighbors, however, I have had cable in a huge apartment complex, in a condo and now in a suburb and I have to tll you I have never noticed any drop (maybe its my cable provider thats good.) DSL further you are from the station slower it is, for me living out in NH that would mean slow!
