ok, I have to do this thing for english thats a compare and contrast essay, anyways,

I think DSL is better, they now have way better speeds than cable, thats ADSL2, even near me they have speeds up to 5Mbps which is a bit faster or as fast as cable around here (Minnesota, US), and DSL seems to be more reliable, the cable network Comcast sucks and they need to upgrade it. I have never experienced downtime on my dsl line, its always been up, the only time I didnt have interenet was when I was being an idiot during a storm and trying to play counterstrike with out unplugging anything, and it came in a couple of days.

Cable is sometimes fast but is really slowed down depending on what kind of neighborhood you have, stupid blackbeard mp3 downloaders, looks away, ... as I have a folder full of music from the network...

whats your opinion, and I did search before I posted this to make sure there wasnt one and I couldnt find any....

I should be concentrating on writing my paper than this post....

At my dads I got High Speed, I cant argue about it. At my moms im on wireless, and that shit is 100% fucking slow and I hate it. It takes like 20 minutes to download a little video. I gotta say I like High Speed more. I may be wrong dont know anyone I hang out with that has DSL.

I didnt know what you wanted, but ya I got Comcast. Its real fast on straight ethernet cable at my dads, but at moms with Wireless its slow.
