T1 and T3 > all....but cable is proven to be better than dsl, if you dont believe it just go to any one of the many bandwith test sites on the net....the numbers speak for themselves.

EDIT : Just thought I would post my results from a Cnet bandwith test just for a little backup...

In red was my score with comcast high speed cable internet, right inbetween, T1 and T3. ^_^ and on a few ive run since ive actually had d/l rates of 43871kbps which was above the average for T3 etc etc

Here are several reasons why DSL is a much better Internet choice than cable:

SPEED – Our DSL speeds are as fast as 3-5 MB and even 7 MB in some areas.

COST – Quite simply, cable is expensive, especially when taxes and fees are included on your bill.

RELIABILITY – Cable users share bandwidth with other users, slowing down the Internet connection. Cable speeds depend on how many people in the neighborhood are using the network. Cable speeds are slower during peak usage periods, whereas DSL speeds are consistent.

SECURITY – DSL runs on a closed, dedicated circuit providing an "always on" Internet connection. DSL is generally considered to be more secure than cable. In contrast, a cable modem is more susceptible to hackers. Each computer is connected to what is commonly referred to as a "neighborhood wide area network or WAN". Shared cable access makes it easier for your neighbors to gain access to your computer.

NO CONTRACTS – With cable, a yearly or longer contract is often required. With DSL, you have a greater choice of payment options.

USABILITY and QUALITY OF SERVICE – DSL provides a reliable connection that is all yours. It is never shared, never crowded, and you never compete for bandwidth. Again, with cable, your Internet speed depends upon how many cable users in your neighborhood are currently using the network.

PRICE CHANGES – With cable, you may see price increases. Cable prices are trending upward.

UPLOADING – Usually, DSL offers faster upload speeds than cable. If you plan on uploading large files to the Internet or you are an experienced gamer, DSL is a better option for you.

WIRING ISSUES – A DSL modem may be placed in any room where there is an available phone jack. Similarly, cable may be used in any room with a cable jack, but there is a greater chance that additional wiring may have to occur to accommodate a cable connection, especially in older homes. Phone jacks are more common.

The difference is clear! DSL is better than cable!

But, don't just take my word for it:

"Cable can be faster than DSL, but only until the neighbors get wise to the benefits. Users in communities that have had cable modem service awhile say speeds bog down as everyone piles on to the shared connection. DSL offers more reliable speeds." (U.S. News & World Report)

"Cable performance often slows (the more people that get online, the slower everyone's access becomes). Another disadvantage: cable is less secure than a DSL connection." (CNN)

LOL and if you want to base your opinion on an advertisement thats fine. Like it says cable IS faster. Everything I've seen says that your theoretical high-end on a DSL line will forever be limited by how far you are from one of their routing centers. Cable's limited to however fast they're willing to let you go.And if you are using a provider that is actually slowed by heavy traffic....then thats your own dumb fault. It mentions nothing in that AD about how unstable DSL actually is. And as far as the numbers go....BS. Like I said, go to ANY bandwith site on the net and look at the results, cable scores highter than DSL on nearly every single one. And also...ive had cable throught three different providers, as well as DSL through two, and I have never had a contract. Has anyone ever heard of having a contract for an ISP other than dial up?? I sure havent. So I will say that if you want to save money...find out how close you are to the nearest DSL hub, and if close et ther e service and save alot money and get decent performance. But please if you are looking for speed and reliability then cable is the ez choice.

Speed - DSL depends on distance from the exchange, and the quality of the lines. Many parts of the UK have such inferior lines that they cannot support DSL. Some people work on an extended reach programme where some of their speed is compromised for the service.


Cost - DSL is damn expensive where I am. It depends where you are. Often there is an activation fee.


Reliability - Both cable and dsl is shared between people. Our DSL provider is very unreliable, so really it's a case of ESID (every situation is different).


Security - Cable is less secure. As long as your machine is set up correctly you'll be fine so no problem really.


No contacts - Our DSL has a 12 month minimum contract, and an activation fee...


Usability and Quality of Service - It's shared. It's okay. It really depends on your ISP and other factors, but DSL is kind of like forcing the internet over your phone line. The further you are away, the worse the quality.

Price Changes - Inflation? It's not specific.

Uploading - I find the uploading speeds are the same on both.

Wiring issues - Slightly harder to install cable modem....



As for your quotes...

It's entirely possible for that to occur on DSL too, since both are contended. There's no difference there.

Cable is a little less secure, but lets face it if you're unsecure on your cable modem network, chances are you're unsecured on the internet too. Same with DSL really, you might be safe from local people but you'll be just as vulnerable on the internet.

Personally I have always found cable to be much more reliable.
If you build it, they will come.

I was just hitting back on the Cnet bandwith test a couple of times and it says I have a t1 connaction. Maybe I'm reading it wrong, but I just don't trust websites like these.

A hella good T3 connection, too.

Anyone have a link to these bandwidth tests? I've never done one.

I just tested out my speed it says i have a 3.5megabit connection

dunno how fast 3.5megabit is but the result says i have an Awesome Speed and I am connecting through a router lol....

My Cable Provider hosts a 5meg Bandwith its awesome.

And Cable >> Dsl cause Dsl is still Dail up, its going through the phone lines and because of voice feeds dsl can never be faster then cable, because cable is totally free of voice conferencing and if you have a router , Firewall, Nothing can get into your computer unless your stupid and download something.
