I have DSL at home. Where I was living before, they had a cable internet connect that was down nearly 24/7. The cable service around here is crummy because they keep breaking the lines with all the road construction going on

My parents tried to get Cable before they ended up with DSL. They signed up and bought the hardware for it but then the cable company said that cable internet wasn't available. $90 later...thanks for telling us!

DSL isn't too expensive for us ($40 a month) but thats because we get our cell phones, house phone, and satelite tv through the same company. One bill, no hassle and no forgetting to pay lol!
