Re: DSL is Latency Solution
BS, Cable is always faster than DSL, I have never seen a DSL latency ever lower than the competing cable company. |

united state | My latency is always lower than Roadrunner's latency here. I wouldn't say that, as service can very by area. |

Latency to servers is effected by many things, namely number of hops, distance to said server. That being said I have seen some DSL lines with very low latency and very responsive gaming despite being a lot "Slower" then the cable company's tiers.

No connection is better than another at the consumer level IMHO.. It all depends on the peer connection and network maintenance the ISP does.
