GZ,
I have had both a cable modem (previously) and now a DSL line with a router in my current home. Overall, the DSL provided by Ameritech/SBC seems to be consistently faster than the cable. At peak hours the cable speed was noticeably compromised. The only disadvantage that I've found with the DSL is that I tend to have 1 minute service interrupts a few times per week. I doubt this is universal, though.
The bottom line is that anything beats a dialup connection. The biggest problem I have encountered with both services is the fact that they have now made me an even more impatient person while waiting for anything.........I'm a speed junkie now <g>.
