I have DSL and love it.....i never go below 1.0 mbit and often hover around 2.0 mbit (and im paying for 384 down/128 up.... I also support vpn connections over dialup, broadband, and dsl. From the support side, Cable is nicer as it is mostly dhcp or static (with no usernames and passwords to forget) However, i have found DSL to be more reliable over the long run. We have more problems with cable than anything else
