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

It is all over the map for both. On average, cable is probably lower. But DSL on Fast data path can be lower than some cable systems I have seen.

Lowest cable latency to the first hop (past the CPE) I have seen is often 9-10ms.

I have seen a trace route, or two, for DSL users just as low; but typical first hop latency is 12-13ms for Fast data path. Being on the Interleaved data path on DSL can add 30ms to latency.
