Re: Happier With DSL said by Black_Mage:I switched to DSL after moving. I had cable before. I get 12 Meg download speed and 768 K up. The speed is slightly faster for a couple bucks more than what I was paying for 10Meg Cable, and the huge advantage is my ping times in WoW have been cut by almost 50%. Makes cable look really bad. My only gripe is that both cable and DSL ISPs are stingy with upload speed.
Although this issue has little to do with cable vs. DSL (both are capable of stable pings, even if Black_Mage's cable ISP did a poor job of it in his neighborhood), it does nicely demonstrate why it's good to have a choice. If DSL dies off, the only choice most of us will have is cable. With no competitive pressure, how well do you think they're going to maintain their network?
