Both cable and DSL have constraining factors. But they are different for each. Cables constraining factor is that you are sharing a single line with many users. DSL is the distance from the CO and the quality of the copper to your house. DSL also has several different flavors. The slowest is what is being offered because at this time it is more robust. But you can get, under perfect conditions, with the DMT flavor of DSL up to 8 mb down and 1 to 2 mb up.

Of course both are constrained by the backbone of the net. This is one area where ATHM's network replication strategy helps.

Hope this clears a few questions,
