Latency is usually pretty decent, and it's not shared bandwidth like cable. Cable usually is a lot faster, but probably not in your case - 1500/128 is slow for cable these days - I think Comcast is 4000/768 or something like that. DSL should be something like 1500/256. The only issue with DSL is being close enough to the phone switch to get service, and the farther out you are, the slower it is.
