Cable Vs. Dsl
According to about.com cable modem, in terms of raw speed beat out dsl hands down. Cable modem speeds can support upto 30 mbs while dsl can only handle upto 10 mbs in most areas. Real world cases are different though, with cable modems you have to share the same connection with your whole community as opposed to DSL which is a static line, so you will get the same output constantly. On top of all this, the ISP's can cap your speed from 30 mbs all the way down to 3 mbs. This is why you should constantly checking you internet speed and make sure your broadband is running at the best possible speeds. If they aren't, you should call your ISP and complain.

That's good to know, although doesn't cable speed also depend on how many other users are using it? The consumer reports like JD associates usually have higher customer satisfaction rates among dsl providers. Unless your downloading a huge video file, you really won't notice a difference between 3mbps and 30mbps for everyday browsing.
