I'd like to know if this firm is paid by anyone. This sort of study can be rigged. If you're the only cable customer in the group that shares the connection, it's fabulous. Otherwise, you're going to have lots of performance up and downs. But DSL is more scalable, in my opinion.

cable has always been faster than DSL. the tired "shared bandwith" argument never mentions distance issues with DSL

My experience with DSL was fairly disappointing. Other than the usual headaches associated with installation/provisioning and whatnot, once installed I got around 700K.

With cable I get over 2000K. After several months of service I had my first outage about two weekends ago.

In talking with the support folks I was told that on my "trunk" there were approx 160 customers.

Now I don't know if that is many or few but the speeds are wonderful.
