All things being equal, cable blows DSL out of the water. However, with cable you share with others and speed could resemble the freeway at 5 p.m. on a Friday. With DSL you have your very own 2 little wires, but this is where line quality is a must. With cable, if the line has trouble, everyone has trouble and the fix is easy; not so with the telco unless the telco cable is cut plumb in half.
