 ·RoadRunner Cable
1 edit | Not in Rural areas.... Although the gap is narrowing between the Cable Co, and DSL. There are areas that only cable serves. Like my home. Although DSL is in my town, it is only a very small area. It isn't on my street and most likely never will be since it is a small town and there isn't a profit to be made for the providers. I'm sure the cable co isn't making much money serving my town, with or without TV service counted.
Cable isn't limited by distance like DSL.
I am not sure at all, but I bet DSL is taking over Cable in well populated areas, not rural.

| Cable and DSL have node distance limitations. DSL is just more well known because telcos have fewer nodes. And most rural areas would suprise you in terms of DSL vs cable availability. |

| have to agree with the orignal post This has been discussed many times here, some like cable, more like dsl,
I've had dsl within 2 weeks of getting my 1st computer in late 1999, and I have always upgraded faster speeds were offered. but in 2005 I decided that i would try (time warner cable internet for a week & compare along side of dsl,side by side2 different internal modems-(no 1 at a time trials) modems, both were operating with a compaq 7585 with 384 Mb of ram & 700 mhz.
and while cable might be a "little",9stress only on
A LITTLE, faster (like 2 cars running down the highway,
DSL ran flat out at 430 mph
cable ran 550 mph
there was a little difference,
but i noticed cable ran better,faster in the morning hours & seemed to slow down a little in the afternoons,
think i'll again stay with my dsl.."jazzy" |

I don't belive Boothbay Maine is even a blip on any DSL privers map. Or Verizons to extend what they have here.
