Re: dsl vs.cable Have you ever had DSL before, because that sounds like it was copied from your cable company's website.
As someone who's actually had both, I can tell you that if your DSL provider says 3.0Mbps, you'll probably get 2.5, not "half".
And the whole "With DSL you'll be on a 1 or 2-year contract" is just baseless. Some DSL providers do have contracts, but most do not.
Each of the three DSL providers I used prorated my last month of service.
I've had no problems with blocked ports with any of those three DSL providers, and very few (but a few) problems with cable blocking ports.
My cable connection has gone out three or four times since last August when I got it(although admittedly, it came back up within 24 hours each time). With one of the three DSL providers I had, I had service for over four years, and the service went out twice during those four years.
Now admittedly, the cable connection I have is the fastest connection I have had, but I only still have it because when I called Comcast to cancel, Comcast offered me another six months at the intro price. Once that's up, I'll be going back to Qwest. Qwest's 7Mbps DSL is cheaper than Comcast's 6Mbps cable internet, and Qwest's customer service, billing, and tech support was a lot better than Comcast's.
-And just to be clear, I'm not saying that I've been dissatified with Comcast's cable internet, because I haven't. My main complaint with Comcast's cable internet is that it's quite a bit more expensive than what I paid with DSL, and I don't think it's worth the extra cost for Comcast's slightly worse connection and Comcast's poorer customer service. | |

If you cannot makeup your mind which is better
Why not get both?
