On general terms and speed capibilities, Cable can reach way higher speeds than ADSL.

However, ADSL is getting faster these days...

But for a more all-rounded comparision, ADSL is more stable in terms of speed and is affected by network traffic to a lesser extent that cable.

Cable is largely affected by network traffic and may experience speed swings.

But I would say that on a nice day, with moderate network traffic, cable would beat ADSL anytime.

I use DSL, even though it is slower it is much more reliable then cable. I like DSL much better.

It's much depend on your ISP.
I have to use ADSL because they give no options.

Cable is fast (from what ive seen) but dsl is usually cheaper, im using dsl cuz the extra cable bandwidth really doesnt help to much...

I chose cable becouse its a LITTLE faster than DSL and its always on. I used to have 56K then DSL, and now Cable.

I would have probably gone out for cable, except for a tiny technicality. My place is already saturated with cable subscribers all from the same company, and that means whatever speed benefits it offers, in the end we have to share the bandwidth amongst ourselves. So DSL is my choice.

i've got cable but it's not very fast

[stevey]

well they are both equally first but the problem that gets to dsl is that its service is limited by the distance your house is from the communication station so in such cases cable might be faster but all in all they all deliver the same first service.
