Re: [Home Network] latency / lag on DSL vs. cable

It takes away from the data speed (ATM+PPPoE overhead is roughly 15%), but not latency. The data path affects latency; being on the Fast data path is ideal. Interleaved will add to latency.

I don't think I've ever seen a Comcast (the only cable company in the Bay Area) line that had latency as low as a decent DSL line. It's usually not even close, like 9-10ms vs well over 20ms.
I thought the pppoe overhead made dsl inherently slower. Good to know - thanks!
