there is a lot of different factors. usually cable is faster but DSL is cheaper. but DSL can be as quick as cable depending on location and provider. i go through verizon and i run just as fast as the local cable speeds.

cable, with dsl you have to be within three miles of the station and its slower than cable.And its the same price so I'd go with cable

So cable is better? Alot of people said DSL was faster and had less pings. I live at least 50 miles from a Verizon place. So will it be slow? It will be alot faster then Dial-up so that is good.

I go with Comcast cause my friend with DSL can only get about 75-90k a sec when download from the net and I get around 500
