DSL performance/throughput depends on how far you are from the DMARC.<br>
The closer you are, the better/faster you will have. Cable modem<br>
performance depends on how many folks are using the same section of<br>
the network.<br>
<br>
I went with DSL, since I was close to the DMARC and scored a spare<br>
modem from a coworker. Also, I will never give any money to comcrap.<br>
