here is aus cable is very fast but they limit the uploads to 128k but adsl is as slow as 256/64k.

personally i have a 24mbit adsl2+ connection running at 10+mbit/1000k and that runs like a dream. pings anyware in the contry gets me below 50 ping and local about 5-10.

all depends on whats available to you

Yes, Fiber to the home has been a rumor for a long time. I sure as heck want to get it.

At that price though, they are no doubt bandwidth limiting the customers... It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

Generally speaking it depends on a lot of things.

What kind of DSL service...

How 'shared' is the cable service..

but i'd say on average, DSL will have a slight edge, because there are so many cable users out there often sharing bandwidth.

I don't know cause I never tried the cable. May be I did try before. Just I don't know. I know now I am using streamyx DSL. So I just simply vote the DSL
