Cable or DSL?

[Captain Zap]

What's your top choice and why?

[BlueMolly2006]

I'm still on dialup and I get upset when people put down those of us who still have dialup. I can't afford DSL or cable at the moment. unless someone wants to chip in some cash for me to DSL or cable I suggest you stop bad mouthing those of us who have dialup. If I had money I'd get DSL.

I enjoy my cable, it's alot faster

I just recently got high speed internet and I love it.... I had dial up for a couple of years and it sucked.

Cable is better speedwise, but DSL is $20 cheaper a month in my area, so I go DSL It's plenty fast enough for my needs, so unless da cable price hits the $30/month I do for DSL, I'm all set with the marginal speed boost

I use Cable. DSL would be my second choice if Cable was not available to me.

Molly, If you check around, there are places that carry DSL for a tiny bit more then the cost of Dial-up.
What I've found for DSL in your area are:
Verizon DSL has a special going if you order online it's $14.95 a month.

You could also look into your local phone company for DSL as well.

I already have cable.

Cable is my #1 choice!

I have Cable. I used to hear so much good things about DSL, that one day I decided to switch, and that was a big mistake. The stupid DSL modem kept re-setting every 5 minutes, and to top it off, DSL still requires a log-on process. When cable, you just open up the internet and start surfing. Nice and fast, the only way it should be

I used to have Dial-Up when I first got the internet, and it was horrible. The service I went with charged by the hour. I got 30 minutes of surfing time a week for $29.99 and for every hour I exceeded, cost me $1 extra. Once you get Cable, there ain't no going back

[Roemello]

You must've had a pretty half ass provider then, Whistle... I don't have any log on process. My connection's always on, the modem/router veeeery rarely has had any problems (knocks on wood). Then again, I also live relatively close to the main hub of the network, so I have an optimal connection for DSL

My parents FINALLY got AT&T Yahoo! DSL back in March after my dad couldn't e-file my sister's tax return.

I use cable all the way. I worked with Verizon DSL for two years, and suffice it to say, it's second only to AOL in being crappy. I can't speak for AT&T, but Verizon's unreliable, affected easily by weather, and the service technicians take fricking forever to fix service outages unless they affect any significant number of people in any significant way. With cable, if I have a problem, I set up an appointment, and it's fixed as soon as I get someone out.

Well, my Mom has DSL now, she uses a local provider and it's kind of slow, but it's because of the phone lines in her area aren't the greatest. But ithe DSL is better than the dialup she had. With her dialup she was only getting 21Kbps to 27Kbps, so this DSL is speedy compared to that.
