The fact is that cable is a Bus that lumbers along and DSL is a sleek fast motorcycle.

Cable internet is what I smoked on my DSL. LOL I have had both and will never go back to cable. Have you had both? If not, you can't compare the two, can you? Nope.

I HAVE both (VOL and Comcast)...and for me, DSL sucks.

VOL = explains that reason.

Sure, and the Sun rises in the east. Proponents of DSL can produce many excuses as to why "MY" xDSL connection sucks...but it doesn't change the fact that "MY" xDSL connection sucks. The fact that it's Verizon doesn't change anything. My friends locally who are serviced by Pacbell bitch about their connections too, especially when compared to our local cable providers offering far superior speeds, better latency and better reliability.

There is NO such thing as the "best" connection. Every franchise is different, no matter if it's DSL or cable. In your area, sure, cable may suck, but in mine, I get consistent latency in the teens and I'm always able to reach my 3.8Mb caps while my so-called 1.5Mb DSL service hyperventilates at around .5 Mb.

Well, maybe for you. Evidently you live in an area where cable internet is not as good as DSL. Also remember that when going to cable internet, you need to "tweak" your machine(s) for broadband, but you sound like an intelligent individual, based on the type of replies you have so I am going to assume you are quite literate on that.
As for me I have not had DSL, you are correct about that but I HAVE played on machines that are on DSL, lots of times and I can tell you that cable rules over DSL in the area that I live in. But, you ARE entitled to your opinions as well as I. From what I have seen and witnessed, DSL will never be in my future, and the folks that were on DSL are now on cable internet and loving every minute of it. No more trouble that DSL gave them.
