Lewis Center, OH | I have both. It's a mixed bag. The two services are roughly equivalent. Cable edges out DSL in download speed (2650 kbps vs 2500 bps) but in practice you really can't tell the difference. Upload speed is a different matter. DSL is roughly twice as fast as cable in our area (675 kbps vs 345 kbps). This really makes a difference when uploading big files like, say, Keynote presentations or audio files from school board meetings.
DSL is from Verizon (ex-GTE territory) and cable is Insight-Roadrunner.
