This is wrong. Being a FIOS tech I do know that DSL is a shared connection and cable is not. With cable your on a open net and with cable. You share your connection with everyone on that node. if they over sell the line without upgrading the node. then when everyone is on line. your speed will drop. Because the topology for DSL is circle or loop. cable uses what they call star topology. Witch means if someone else drops connection, you don't.
