Agreed. Cable is better. However, Dialup is the least expected to be used for an Internet Connection. We use TalkTalk broadband, and we have their Turbo service for it, and we still get a rarther crappy speed at times. However my connection since it's a Wireless one, I "sometimes" get a faster speed then my father, and he is directly connected up to our Router.

From personal experience, Cable is faster than DSL, and broadband varies a lot.

I don't know about cable , but DSL is OK!

I don't think that my ISP offers such a thing ,the only offer is DSL , and for truth , it's a good choice in here.

I think cable is better. It's more reliable and I remember that there's a slight difference with how fast both connection can go, with cable higher. I'm using 3G so I can't really give a credible feedback.

Anyway, CNET made a comparison between the two. Not speed specific, but Cable vs DSL in general.

You thought Bush vs. Gore in 2000 was a squeaker? Cable vs. DSL is even closer (and this time we can't blame it on hanging chads). Cable modem access may or may not be faster or easier to install than DSL--your mileage will vary, depending on where you live and a variety of other factors. But it is slightly more available and a bit less expensive, which makes it our winner by a hair. Nonetheless, if cable access isn't available in your neighborhood, DSL is a good alternative, and it's certainly a joy compared to dial-up access.
