Dsl is slightly slower and is limited slightly by location of the person's house.  But it is a little cheaper with the promotions than cable.\n\nCable has a slightly higher speed, but it is more expensive, and the speed depends on what everyone else is doing, so for people who surf after dinner, it is only slightly faster than dsl.

DSL is a type of broadband.

Definitely go with inter.net (ca.inter.net)\n\nThey give you 3mb DSL for $25 (which is $20 less than Rogers or Bell) and have 24 hour customer service for free!

Biggest difference is price and available speed packages.\n\nCable usually allows larger bandwidth at much higher prices.\nDSL allows reasonably large bandwidth for normal useage at reasonable prices.

A decent deal that has a reasonable price and with a company that provides dial up internet connections that you know are a reputable company for providing a dialup connection in your area. Although with the way things are going it may be worth while looking into getting a dsl connection ( depending on where you are and the prices ) of course. Just a thought.\n\nDSL will be a lot faster and you never get cut off and it doesnt interfere with any phone calls.

I just switched from DSL to a fiber optic line.  Contact your phone company to see if they offer this.  If not, contact your cable provider -- in my area, the cable provider is the one who provides fiber optics.  You can also pay a higher monthly fee to get even faster fiber optics than the normal speed, which I don't need and didn't order.  I've been quite happy with the regular fiber optic line.  And it turned out to be cheaper than my DSL.

Cable and DSL are two different types of internet services. Cable runs on the same line that brings you cable tv, while DSL runs on a phone line. Cable is significantly faster than DSL, and in some cases can be more than 5X the speed of DSL in residential areas. Although DSL is a lot cheaper than cable internet, speed is mainly what people need.

Cancel it and get a cable modem.  Just think about it, DSL is sending data through an old school telephone wire.  Cable modem is sending data through the much newer cable lines, and thus, much faster and much more reliably.  Do whats right, make the switch!

Yes DSL is much faster although cable would be even faster.\nThe difference between 768k and 3mbps is that your download speed can go that high but only if your close to the server. That means that the farther you are from your service provider the slower your speed is going to be.(CATCH MY DRIFT). The same goes for your upstream. So the bottom line is dsl is much faster  depending on how far you live from the server.\nAs for the 20 minute download, It would take approximately 2 minutes for it to download on 768k and approximately 30 sec. on 3.0mbps. I recommend going with cable because its always on and your speed doesn't suffer because of where you live so think carefully. Bye and enjoy..

I would say AT&T Yahoo! High Speed Internet. It has two packages that are under $25 a month. \n\nThe Express package which has FAST download speeds up to 1.5 Mbps comes with 11 email accounts, each with 2GB of storage, and comes with virtually unlimited photo storage.  And that is $12.99 a month for a year!\n\nLearn more: http://www.sbc.com/gen/general?cdvn=localize&pid=1080&prod-snip=res_express_dynamic_term\n\nOrder Now: http://www.sbc.com/gen/general?pid=1080&cdvn=localize&prod-snip=dsl_res_order \n\nFor five more bucks, you can get the Pro package which has all the benefits and features of Express except you get download speeds up to 3.0 Mbps! This is the package recommended for wireless home networking solutions. And that is $17.99 a month for a year!\n\nLearn more: http://www.sbc.com/gen/general?cdvn=localize&pid=1080&prod-snip=res_pro_dynamic_term\n\nOrder Now: http://www.sbc.com/gen/general?pid=1080&cdvn=localize&prod-snip=dsl_res_order\n\nFor more packages, check here:\n\nhttp://www.sbc.com/gen/general?pid=6431\n\nHope this helped!

Both DSL and Cable offer relatively high speed access. However if you really want FAST access you will have to lay out Thousands of Dollars a month for a T3 line (or better)\n\nFor home use, this is a little beyond most peoples budget ;-)\n\nI am wondering why you think it's not fast though. Have you ever had to use dial up access??\n\nYou can do a speedtest at this website - http://www.bandwidthplace.com/speedtest/\n\nI get 3 megabits per second with cable - even with the cheap DSL packages you should be getting 1/4 of that speed.\n\nIf your speed test says you are getting less than 600 K per second - then you should call your dsl/cable company - something may be wrong. If you are using peer to peer file sharing soiftware that will slow you down immensely in some cases.

100mbps is a very high speed for DSL. Usually it is fiberoptics (FDDI) that is 100mbps\nThe fastest would be internet backbones and they are measured in gbps.

Good luck then. Cable is better then phone. Because the speed requiements are faster. your telephone is only 1.54 MBits now cable modem speeds are 8 mbits in most areas. I would go with cable if I where you. But don't want it then you need to go with a T1 which will run you about 300 to 400 a month. Proved you provide your own router and CSU/DSU.\nThe router will set you back about $2,500 and the CSU/DSU will set you back about 200 to 500 a month. I would recommend you just get cable.
