"Well, I dont have a home line....and you are required to have one to get DSL.

Cable's so much better. There's no comparison.
Not in my case. I ditched ComCast cable which was approximately $55/mo. for a faster DSL connection for $35/mo. (later the price was raised to $40/mo). Not only faster, but more reliable.
Not to mention that Verizon was recently offering a 1.5Mb DSL service for $15/mo (now $17/mo)! Not fast enough for me, but a great deal for Mom and other light weight Internet users. Comcast can't even come close to that.
