In my situation and the situations of those I've spoken with there is a choice between cable and ADSL.
For most people (not me) reliability is the only thing to look at. Both are complicated enough in set up to ask for a friend's help.
(In this area a cable guy comes out to do the cable modem, which can be a disadvantage.)
In this area that means Alltel ADSL.

ADSL needs to be within 15,000 feet of wire of a "CO", according to
Alltel and other sources.
Further, the quality of the line coming into the house does matter,
though I do not know the variance.
(My brother has two lines. One is ok for ADSL, one is not. The older
line (18 years) is ok. The newer (6) not. I do not know if they come
from the same CO.

All this remind me why I went with cable.
Of course that is an option only if its available in your area.
