There are folks that want the bang for the buck. There are folks that want to stretch the buck. There are folks that wished they had the buck for high speed! The "who's the best" thing means jack schitt when it comes down to a) what is available; b) what can I afford; c) how much more can I get if I pay; d) what will I get. Then this can be whittled down to a) what will I do with it; b) what CAN i do with it; c) Can I do that with it. The technologies do one common basic function: get you access to the internet faster than the first generation platform: dial-up. What you want to do with it is based on the user needs: gaming, pay for the pipe. Emails and general browsing, pay for basic. Teleconferencing and filesharing, pay for the big pipe. Does it matter if it is cable or DSL? Maybe, but can you have a schmorgasboard to choose from? Not everyone can.... If the gamer cannot get cable and has DSL, they complain. If the general browser can't get DSL but pays out the wazoo for cable, they complain. And if the dial-upper can't get neither, they frown al the baloney they see because it comes down to choice, affordability and availability! DOCIS 3, Fios, 10M tiers, 20/20 tiers, bundles, chevy versus ford, F-16 versus F-117, Skippy versus JIF... None of the technologies will die. They will evolve. Anyone see the demise of dial-up after all these years? Dial-up, because of physical limitations is at it's crest. DSL will improve and so has cable. So...does it matter which one is better?
