well this varies a lot depending on where you live. some ISPs are good and some are bad. over here they're about the same. i'm using cable now... i don't seem to have much problems with it, same with my dad's office's dsl line. the only difference... which isn't all important but well worth mentioning... cable's cable is thicker and harder to manage than dsl... so for someone like me who might move the computer around the house, telephone cables are more easily managed. just my 2 cents

I agree without doubt that it depends on your location. In my very area on the west coast of Canada, ADSL is the one that pulls ahead.
