DSL *can be* faster. In practice it is often a lot slower. DSL
bandwith
is dedicated to you and is throttled back to give you the speed you
pay
for. Cable is shared so your speed depends on who you are sharing
with.
As we have seen recently with Comcast, it can also be limited in
various
ways. DSL is usually more reliable.
Well, I'm going to have their "elite" level with supposedly very fast
speeds. In evenings and on weekends my Comcast connection really
drags along most of the time. And I have suspected that they have
stopped some of my downloads at times. I was redownloading a lot of
files from iTunes and after a short time they'd just stop and I had
to restart them...sometimes many times. It will be interesting to
see how much difference I notice.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of
arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather
to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, body
thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a
ride!" Have a wonderful day!
