I can't stand DSL, however. My parents have it, and it seems like even the smallest factors affect your speed and uptime. Weather, how far away from the place you are, if you're uphill or downhill.... if its too hot or too cold, if its raining or humid... their internet surges up and down so wildly, it never completely will go out, but latency will go from 60ms to over 2000ms in a matter of seconds. Its not just them, but pretty much any DSL in any state I've been in, lol.

BUT, compared to dial-up...... its lightning fast! So I'm not complaining, but I do prefer my cable
